With the successful implementation of electronic referrals across selected services at SESLHD, we are now expanding further.
Over the coming months, the electronic referrals program will be deployed via a staged approach with the expectation majority of SESLHD Outpatient services will begin to accept eReferrals.
SESLHD is moving away from paper-based referral pathways and electronic referrals will be the preferred method of referral. All referrals will be processed and managed via the electronic Referral Management System (eRMS).
eReferrals are electronic forms submitted through your practice software via HealthLink or via MyHealthLink portal.
