How to Make a Referral
Welcome to the Ambulatory Referral Management system (ARMs)
The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) is using a new online referral system to support more timely and efficient management of referral health care professionals to its outpatient clinics. It holds great benefits for the referring professionals, child and our hospital.
The new online referral system at SickKids makes the entire referral process faster and simpler providing automated responses to let you know:
- when your referral has been received
- whether it has been redirected, and to whom
- and when the patient has been booked for an appointment
Your patients and your office benefit because:
- your referral is immediately directed to the right clinic
- patients get the right care at the right time
- staff spend less time on the phone, because clinics aren't calling for more information and you always know the status of your referral
Several clinics are now online and more are being added regularly, so check back often for updates.
