Patient Electronic Referrals
GeneCIS Clinical Portal
eReferrals software – a module of GeneCIS – facilitates the patient electronic referral processes between hospitals and referring doctors. Patients can be referred internally and externally for consultations, tests, examinations, diagnostic procedures, and minor surgeries via the Patient eReferrals software solution. The referring doctor can either refer the patient directly on to the consultants work list or through admissions, depending on the requirements.
The consultant later reviews the referral and either accepts or rejects each referral. Appointments for accepted eReferrals are booked in the hospital and details are sent to the patient. Alternatively, the referring doctor has access to the consultant’s diaries and can book an appointment directly for the patient from their surgery through GeneCIS eReferrals. The patient is given the appointment details in the GP’s surgery. eReferrals software is the cornerstone of E-Health.
