Standardized eReferral Forms in Ontario
In an effort to reduce administrative burden and improve clinician and patient experience across the province, and to support the goals of the ‘Patients Before Paperwork’ (Pb4P) initiative, Ontario Health is collaborating with Amplify Care to develop standardized eReferral forms.

eReferral Forms Guidelines
- All specialty forms are developed using a standardized structure and established best practices, ensuring that foundational elements are consistent across all forms.
