eReferral

The Power of Electronic Referral Management

Effectively used, electronic referral management, eReferral, provides an alternative to the cumbersome, bureaucratic, paper-based referral process that has plagued physician practices, hospitals and health systems for decades. Only through e-referral can healthcare organizations improve information exchange, enhance patient care continuity and end the costly, time-consuming and error-prone chore of faxing, photocopying and filing paper referral documents.
