From the Patients View, you can see a list of all your patients. This is pulled from your EMR through Ocean’s integration.

Start by finding the patient you want to refer. Click on their name, and select Find Health Service.

Bonus: If you are using an integrated EMR, you can launch the Healthmap directly from the patient chart.

From the Healthmap, you can search for the specialist or service you’re looking for using the Search tool found in the left menu.

With advanced search, you can add search criteria including subspecialty, language, wait times and more.

You can then filter your results by wait time or location.

Listings with a green arrow are actively accepting eRequests.

Click on a specialist to view their listing.

Click on Send eReferral to start your referral. The form will be pre-populated with your patient’s details from their chart.

If the CPP is requested, click the checkbox to view details and edit as needed.

If you need to include any attachments with your eReferral, click Add Attachment.

Bonus: If you’re using an integrated EMR, you can attach documents right from the patient’s chart.

You can save the referral to complete at a later time by selecting Save for Later.

You can access all of your eRequests from the eReferral & eConsult view in the Ocean Portal at any time.

Saved eRequests will be found in the Incomplete folder.

Once the form is filled, review the Referrer’s Information section.

You can also send a copy of the referral to another health care provider.

After clicking Send eReferral, you’ll be prompted to confirm patient consent for communication.

To view this eReferral, return to the Ocean Portal and click Menu > eReferrals & eConsults.
