| Richard There are significant financial advantages for radiology & pathology providers to have electronic referrals. saves them inputting data On the other hand as Andrew Nolan wrote how else will the patients know where to go unless they have a piece of paper. The solution is to print a piece of paper for the patient and mark it with your 'x' and send an encrypted request form to the radiology/pathology provider at the same time all in the one procedure. This is doable now with Argus as the request is really only a referral and the software providers would be able to implement this easily with a print & email option 1 Medicare have their pathetically insecure piece of paper with the doctors mark upon it to satisfy their 'regulations' 2 The patients have their piece of paper to stick on the fridge 3 the radiology/pathology providers have saved a gazillion in inputting costs 4 the GP does not have to use an individual certificate or card reader everybody happy - not likely - but it is a suggestion on the subject of request forms we have reformatted printing ( in Genie) to use A5 paper; half the paper used and saved a few more Tasmanian blue gums Wal On 06/03/2006, at 9:22 PM, Richard Hosking wrote:
