Sydney Local Health District's Royal Prince Alfred Hospital will trial a new eReferral system for fertility, gynaecology and maternity services as part of eHealth NSW’s Engage Outpatients pilot from late next month, along with a new fax coversheet which enables digitisation of faxed referrals for GPs who are not eReferral-enabled.

Sydney LHD has been using HealthLink’s SmartForms for eReferrals to certain ambulatory care services at Concord and RPA hospitals since last year, but Engage Outpatients will involve maternity services at RPA in late April and at Canterbury Hospital later in the year as part of the pilot.
