Using the TELUS Collaborative Health Record (CHR) eReferrals feature, clinicians can send referrals to your clinic electronically, via the secure eReferral portal. These referrals appear directly in your Incoming referrals folder. If configured accordingly, patients can also use the portal to self-refer to your clinic.
For more information, see eReferrals.
Steps
1. From the main menu, click Settings > Referral > E-Referral.
2. Customize your eReferrals using the following options:
๐ Note: These settings are clinic-wide.
eReferral setting | Description |
Passcode | (Optional) To limit who can submit eReferrals and require providers or patients to enter a code before they can submit an eReferral, enter a unique passcode.
If you leave this blank, eReferrals can be created without a code.
๐ Note: If enabled, you must give the provider or patient the passcode so that they can submit eReferrals. |
Referral Options (types) | Select from whom you want to receive eReferrals.
๐ Note: Existing providers are verified based on their billing number. If they do not have a billing number, you must add one in their contact information.
๐ Note: You can select more than one of the above options.
โ ๏ธ Important: If you select none, only clinicians known to your clinic can use the eReferral portal to refer patients. |
