eReferral software specialist MEDrefer has teamed up with enterprise content management solutions vendor Hyland Healthcare to provide a joint offering to hospitals to better manage the referral process between primary and acute care.

MEDrefer offers a free eReferral service to GPs that allows them to find and select an appropriate specialist or allied health professional and track that referral, with specialist practices able to review the referral before accepting or declining it. This capability has now been extended to include the central intake and triage models commonly used by hospitals and PHN-funded mental health programs.
