eReferrals at Alfred Health

Consultmed eReferrals will provide an enhanced user experience, making it quicker and easier for you to send and receive referrals securely.

Referrers benefit from:

In-built referral guidelines and Statewide Referral Criteria requirements
Simple attachment of reports, images and results
Acknowledgement receipt
Integration with Best Practice and Medical Director, whilst referrers with other practice management software (PMS) types will be able to utilise the Consultmed web portal to send and track electronic referrals

Alfred Health’s preference is for all referrers to utilise eReferral; however, sending referrals via fax or email will still be available whilst we transition our services to this secure platform.

Advice & Guidance

We are piloting an online system for GP's to access additional support from Endocrinology & Diabetes and Gastroenterology consultants. This ‘Advice & Guidance’ feature will allow GPs to seek the advice of a specialist via secure asynchronous digital communication. GPs will be able to ask questions to support management of their patient without necessarily requesting an outpatient appointment. Find out more about Advice & Guidance.

Fast Access Re-Entry Pathway

We are piloting a Fast Access Re-Entry (FARE) Pathway to the Neurosurgery and Urology clinics. The FARE Pathway is for patients that have recently been discharged and require further specialist treatment or follow up for the same presenting problem. GPs can indicate a referral to the FARE Pathway by selecting this option on the eReferral form for these clinics.
