GPs in the ACT and surrounding areas of NSW who refer patients to Canberra Hospital public outpatient and community services can now use an eReferral SmartForm from HealthLink and submit it from within their practice management system.
ACT Health's digital solutions division has worked with HealthLink, Canberra Health Services (CHS) and a group of Canberra GPs to trial the new capability for two months. Following the success of the trial, it is now being rolled out to other referrers in the region.
