How the eCE West DT can support OHTs:

Presentations about eServices and demonstrations of eReferral and eConsult

Provide guidance and checklists for acute care sites to support pre-planning and prioritization

Support workflow conversations and provide best practice guidelines for eConsult and eReferral

Quarterly Spotlight

Here's what clinicians are saying about using eReferral:

“It is integrated into my workflow making my life a million times easier. It shows the date for when the patient's appt is booked and this is easy to see when I am talking with the patient” - West Primary Care Clinician

Our mission is to be the leading, trusted, digital health partner for primary care and integrated patient care.
