Outgoing Referrals
A healthcare professional writes an outgoing referral to request that a specialist healthcare professional or healthcare organisation provide an expert opinion, diagnosis, or treatment plan for the patient's medical condition.
Use the Helix Letter Writer to write specialist referrals. The referral can be addressed to any HCP or healthcare organisation in the Helix Address Book or recorded in the HealthLink directory.
You can send specialist referrals via:
- Email - only to recipients whose details are recorded in the address book. For more information, see Refer a Patient to a Specialist.
- Secure Message Delivery - only to recipients whose details are recorded in the HealthLink directory. For more information, see Refer a Patient to a Specialist.
After you have sent the referral, it is available:
- In the Actions section from the Consult panel.
- In the - after you have completed the patient consultation.
- In the SMD Outbox section - if you have sent the referral letter via, email or secure message delivery.
