Family Medicine - Menopause symptom Advice Request reason for referral expanded to other Zones

On January 11, 2024, Family Medicine – Menopause symptom expanded to all Zones as an Advice Request reason for referral. North, Central, Calgary, and South Zones now join Edmonton Zone in offering this non-urgent specialty advice option. 

On the evening of May 18, 2023, several eReferral updates were made including:

  • Family Medicine – Menopause Outpatient Clinic added to eReferral Advice Request in the Edmonton Zone.
  • When you choose an out of province provider on the Consult Request referral form, additional fields appear allowing you to include their name and contact information. This creates more transparency and supports referrals that are sent to Alberta from out of province providers.
  • New submission methods (e.g., eReferral, Connect Care, etc.) have been added to the standard Consult Request referral form for greater referral tracking.
  • Facilitated Access to Specialized Treatment (FAST) Program teams will see letter changes like added characters to free text-fields, Referral IDs added to all letters, and a new Cancelled letter option.

Throughout March and April 2023, a number of Advice and Consult Request reasons for referral were added to eReferral, including ones for Urology, Orthopedic Surgery, Internal Med – Pulmonary Medicine and Surgery – Plastic Surgery. For a complete list of changes, view the bulletin.
