Learn how to communicate with other referral stakeholders using the Messaging functionality.
When processing and managing incoming eReferrals, it can be necessary to communicate with the other referral stakeholders to gain additional or missing information. This is achieved using the 'Messaging' area within an eReferral.
Optional Step
Note: This is an optional step in the Guide to Receiving eReferrals, since it may not always be relevant or necessary to communicate with other referral stakeholders.
How do I send a message?
-
Within the 'Messaging' area, simply select the appropriate message recipient (if multiple parties are involved in the referral), type your message into the text box, optionally add an attachment, and press 'Send'.
Tip: For increased efficiency, you can also create canned responses for your Ocean Site that are easily selectable using the speech bubble icon.
