Brisbane's Metro North Hospital and Health Service has gone live with Orion Health's electronic clinical referrals platform, allowing clinicians and central intake teams to digitally submit, track and manage outpatient referrals across multiple facilities and specialities.
The new platform, which replaces a previous system built in-house, can be extended in future to include community-based referrals from GPs and shared care functionality.
Orion and Metro North announced the contract in April last year. The new system will integrate with Queensland Health's patient administration and scheduling systems through Orion's Rhapsody integration platform, which is being rolled out by Queensland Health to replace its legacy JCAPS-based middleware system.
