OCEAN e-Services

Join Ontario's funded eReferral & eConsult Programs

Our region is working to get more specialists onboarded to eReferral so we can easily refer patients to specialists from within our EMRs (a web-based version is available as well for EMRs that do not support eReferral integration). Many family doctors in our region have already signed on and are eagerly awaiting more specialist colleagues to sign on.

Good news! More services have been added to the eReferral HealthMap  including Central intake for CAMH, Diagnostic Imaging from the Joint Department Medical Imaging (JDMI- UHN, Women's College Hospital, & Sinai Health), the Women's College Breast Centre, and more!

Thank you to all our Family Practice Network members who completed our recent survey asking for names of specialists you would like to see added to eReferral. We are in the process of advocating to get the specialists you want signed on to use eReferral.
