eConsults & eReferrals
The Ocean eReferral Network was designed to streamline the referral and consult process for healthcare providers without disrupting existing workflows. Clinicians can find a specialist, send a consult or referral, maintain a record in the EMR, and even track the status of a referral at any time, all from a single platform.
Note for Ontario Users: In Ontario, Ocean eConsults are currently in a limited release. For more information on eConsult in Ontario as part of the Ontario eServices Program, please review the Overview of eConsults in Ontario article.
