How does SecureDome eReferral work?
Users access SecureDome eReferral via the www.eReferral.com.au website.
Three types of users have access to SecureDome eReferral:
-
‘Administrator’ - usually a Project Manager from your Division of General Practice or at the health agency.
-
‘GP’ - general practitioner.
-
‘Specialist’ - provides consultant medical services.
It is worth noting that the user roles in SecureDome eReferral can be customised to your needs, for example a nurse or other health worker could fulfil the user role of ‘Specialist’.
The first time they access the site, each user fills out the SecureDome
eReferral registration form. A user with Administrator access to SecureDome
eReferral then approves the user registration form. Once approved, the user
can access and start using the system.
