“With Consultmed, I am assured that the specialist on the other side has actually received the referral. This also reduces medical errors and risk to patient safety, with no more lost or misplaced referrals. I can ask for specialist advice and guidance through the portal. This is really helpful because I can better manage my patients locally and perhaps save them a trip to the hospital”

“What it’s done is completely revolutionise the way they deal with referrals. The referrals are clearly identified when they arrive. They arrive electronically. They are seen swiftly. They can easily be organised in a much shorter time frame, and everybody can keep track of where the referral is up to.”

“The Consultmed dashboard allows effective referral triage to that patients and families receive notification of their appointments quicker.”

“Sending referrals through Consultmed is easy and saves our GP practice so much time. I’ve finally stopped needing to send and receive faxes to my local hospital and private clinics. My patients also receive tracking of the referrals, which is really useful because they are kept in the loop.”

“I found the use of the Consultmed referral system very useful as the referral is sent straight through to specialist, right then and there whilst with the doctor. A copy was also sent out to myself and I was able to track it once it was received and acknowledged by our specialist. Appointments with the specialist was also able to be confirmed once the referral was received and confirmed. I struggle with having paperwork, more so keeping it and remembering to bring it to appointments so it’s been an advantage of having it all sent digitally. I believe more patients would prefer to have their referrals sent through in digital form, especially if several specialists need to be seen. ”
