Better Access - Streamlined Process

NEW Central Referral System

New Central Referral System

We're proud to announce the launch of the Pooled Referral and Waitlist Management system on January 18, 2021. Pooling referrals increases patient choice and improves access to care by offering your patients the option of being seen by the “First Available” specialist or a particular surgeon in our group.

Effective January 18, 2021, please use the mandatory, Nanaimo Surgeons – Central Referral Form (click to download) for all referrals to our office, including referrals to a specific surgeon. This form will help determine the urgency of the appointment and lets you know what documentation should accompany the referral.

For your convenience, our referral form is also being implemented on the following EMR platforms:  MedAccess(Telus), WOLF(Telus), Oscar(Telus), Profile(Intrahealth), and Accuro(QHR Technology). As the forms become available, your EMR vendor will either install our form automatically or provide you with installation instructions.
 
Effective January 18th 2021, please fax all new referrals to 1-250-591-2681.  

Please use this new fax number for both consultations and endoscopy referrals. Emergency referrals should continue to be directed to the surgeon on call via telephone.
 
We are confident that these changes will improve access to specialist case for the patient we serve and thank you for partnering with us to implement these changes.
