Nova Scotia’s single-entry intake model, supported by eReferrals and a surgical Central Intake Office team/ diagnostic imaging central provincial queue, is designed to streamline the coordination of referrals, reduce the administrative pressures on healthcare providers and their teams and improve communication with patients and providers.
Practices or offices that have Med Access or Accuro EMRs have the option to integrate Ocean eReferrals with their EMR, so they can receive, view, action, and track referrals within their EMR, with real time updates. Other receiving providers can access eReferrals through the Ocean eReferral website portal, where they too can receive, view, action, and track referrals with ease.
The eReferral tool makes referrals simpler, with a complete and up-to-date directory of surgeons, diagnostic imaging sites and standardized forms to ensure the information provided is complete. The consistency of information transmitted with the referral will make it easier for surgeons and diagnostic imaging staff to assess and triage the request for consult and care.
Other benefits include:
If you are a surgeon or primary care provider select the appropriate onboarding request and complete the form to get started. You will receive a follow up communication from a deployment team member once this is complete. Other health care providers are not yet being onboarded to Ocean.
