Overview

The aim of the 2006-07 e-Referral Capacity Building through Primary Care Partnerships funding round was to extend e-referral implementation in PCP member organizations. With a near doubling in both the volume of e-referrals and the number of services participating in referral it is evident that this has been achieved.

The Primary Health Branch is continuing to work with a range of stakeholders – including DHS program areas, General Practice Victoria, Australian Institute of Primary Care, and the National E-Health Transition Authority – to manage the continuous improvement of the SCTT tools and to support their use in a developing electronic environment. This work is being overseen by the department’s E-referral Victoria Board.

The department’s E-referral Victoria Board is a relatively new construct and has a membership that includes the department’s CIO, the Office of Health Information Systems, and senior representatives from the department’s program areas, in addition to a number of representatives from the sector. Fundamental to the board’s charter is the provision of a collaborative forum to progress work on e-referral in Victoria in a way that removes the risk of duplication of work and ensures that relevant solutions are developed across the state in a coordinated manner.

This report provides a summary of the work undertaken and the achievements made as part of the 2006-07 e-Referral Capacity Building through Primary Care Partnerships funding round.
