Patient experience with eReferral email notifications in the South West subregion

Patients that are emailed appointment information and reminders report an improved healthcare experience and prefer eReferral to their previous referral experiences

Quick Facts

When clinicians include a patient’s email address in the electronic referral, patients receive appointment information and status updates by email, can confirm their appointments online, and have opportunity to provide feedback through a survey link.

  • 70% of eReferrals sent in the South West include a patient email address
  • 170 patients responded to an experience survey
  • 86% of patients report being satisfied with eReferral
  • 61% of survey respondents were over the page of 60
  • Patients confirming appointments online reduces the amount of time clinics need to spend calling patients

eReferral allows patients a transparent way to understand the status of their referral and actively confirm their appointment without a phone call. It makes it easier for patients and helps my office run more efficiently.
