eReferrals now available at Cambridge Memorial Hospital

Cambridge Memorial Hospital and CognisantMD introduced a real-time eReferral system for diagnostic imaging in the region.

Using the Ocean Platform, family doctors can now order MRIs, CTs, ultrasounds, X-rays, mammography, BMD and Nuclear Medicine tests directly from their electronic medical record.

The paperless process is helping to speed up the referral process while giving patients, physicians, and radiologists access to the most up-to-date details on the status of a referral.

Until now, the region has relied on faxing and paper transmissions, which can cause delays and miscommunication.

The switch means communication can happen quicker, lessening the chance a patient referral gets forgotten or misplaced.

eReferrals can be completed through the Cambridge Memorial Hospital website, through the Oceanhealthlinks.ca directory, or directly from a physician’s EMR.
