As a next step in reducing barriers to the delivery of high quality, integrated care, Ross Memorial Hospital (RMH) is pleased to announce that their Diagnostic Imaging (DI) Department is now accepting electronic referrals from primary care providers via the Ocean eReferral platform.

RMH DI eReferral forms can be accessed directly through provider Electronic Medical Records (EMR) using the eReferral button or by visiting the Ocean Healthmap website at www.oceanhealthmap.ca and searching for ‘Kawartha Lakes.’

Benefits of Ocean eReferral include:

• Searchable, map-based directory
• Office Electronic Medical Record integration with Telus Practice Solutions, Accuro, Oscar, or you can access using Ocean e-referral via the web
• Real time, provider bi-directional communication – eliminates delays
