Primary Health Tasmania (PHT) has issued a request for proposal for a statewide eReferral system that will initially facilitate electronic referrals between GPs and specialists and in future integrate with Tasmanian hospital systems and deliver eReferral letters to the My Health Record.
PHT, Tasmania's primary health network (PHN), is working with the state Department of Health and the Tasmanian Health Service on the project, which is expected to be trialled early next year and will manage the authoring, transmission, receipt and management of eReferrals in Tasmania through an end-to-end electronic workflow.
