eReferral supports cataract surgery in Ontario
Key takeaways
Electronic referral (eReferral) for Cataract Surgery has expanded across Ontario, enhancing the patient experience throughout the province
Quick facts
eReferral allows referring clinicians to select the most appropriate destination for the patient’s referral by choosing a site based on location, clinician preference, or patient preference
eReferral gives referring clinicians access to a health map that allows them to see the wait times and geographic locations; the clinician and the patient can then make an informed decision about where they send their referral
eReferral also enables patient communication through emails that keep patients in the loop throughout the referral process; over 3,300 Cataract Surgery eReferrals included patient consent to receive email notifications
Clearest and easiest appointment booking and confirmation I have ever experienced
Easy process, received notification that referral had been sent within an hour of my appointment.
