Victoria's Ballarat Health Service (BHS) has gone to tender for a new referral management system that can handle multiple modes of referral, including by letter, fax and electronically, and can integrate with the health service's patient administration systems iPM and webPAS, and its BOSSnet digital medical record.

BHS plans to use the system initially for its specialist outpatients clinics before expanding it to the rest of the health service and the Grampians Rural Health Alliance (GRHA).
