6 key steps to sending an e-Referral

Below is a visual representation of the 6 simple steps that you need to complete to send an e-Referral. 

The first step is to check that I-MED Radiology is listed as the ‘Provider’ (see example below)*. We recommend that you save ‘I-MED Radiology’ as a default, so it will auto-populate for all future e-Referrals. 

*If the provider field is left blank, or has other information, I-MED will not receive the e-Referral. 

How to send a test e-Referral to I-MED

While e-Referrals are installed into your practice software using a safe and reliable system, you can perform a sense check to ensure that your e-Referrals are successfully being transferred to I-MED. This may also apply to any new practitioners that are hesitant to use e-Referrals or after your practice has run system updates to other software on the same server.

The simple process is shown in both the written steps and animated screenshots below:

  1. Open a test patient record from the Medical Director main menu
  2. Add your mobile number to the test patient record 
  3. Open a new Imaging Request
  4. Select ‘I-MED Radiology’ under the Provider drop-down 
  5. Select any modality and record ‘TEST ONLY’ in the clinical details 
  6. Click Print 

If successful, you will receive a digital copy of the test e-Referral, sent to the mobile number you added in step 2.
