Notes

Overview

This referral form is intended for use by Sickle Cell Disease Centres in Ontario who offer treatment and supportive services for adult or pediatric patients with chronic complications of sickle cell disease
Formatting and style is intended to be consistent across all specialties to reduce cognitive loads
The number of mandatory fields is limited to reduce administrative burdens

Notes

Patient Information

These fields are auto-populated when referral is initiated from an integrated Electronic Medical Record (EMR) or Hospital Information System (HIS).

Notes

Requested Priority

Referral form will have "Routine" selected by default
"Urgent" should be used to indicate when a patient needs urgent care
If a referral is marked as urgent, then a "Reason for Urgency" must be provided to explain why
Note that the consulted provider will still triage the referral based on the information provided

X

Concerns and Indications

This list is intended to:

Facilitate referral form completion by providing the most common reasons for referral
Facilitate specialist triaging by improving referral clarity
Allow for addition of clinical guidance (where applicable)
Allow for specific follow up questions to assist triage (where applicable)
Allow eReferral platforms to identify which providers accept referrals for specific conditions since specialists may remove concerns and indications they do not see.

This list is not meant to be a comprehensive list of all conditions within a specialty, and an “Other” option is provided
A generic referral form is available that uses free-text instead of a list for specialists that prefer this option.

X

Clinical Question and Narrative

This mandatory field is meant for the referrer to communicate the clinical question or expectations for the referral along with relevant patient information, which may include history, management and investigations
