Join us for an information session tailored for Optometrists to explore the benefits and practicalities of using eReferrals. As the largest referring allied health profession into the Tasmanian Health Service, Optometrists play a key role in the success of this digital transformation.
The information session will provide a comprehensive overview of the eReferral system. It will explain the role of HealthLink and how Optometrists can set up an account, and what having an account entails. We will demonstrate how to send an eReferral to the Ophthalmology Dept at the Royal Hobart Hospital (the only Ophth. Dept in Tas). We will also demonstrate how to send eReferrals to GPs, Allied Health and Private Specialists. We will show where to go for how-to resources and provide contact details for further support. There will be opportunities for the Optometrists to ask questions.
Learning outcomes:
- Provide an overview of the Tasmanian eReferral System.
- Explain how to set up a HealthLink account.
- Demonstrate how to send and receive eReferrals.
- Explain where to go for support.
