Frequently Asked Questions
ReferralNet is a secure message delivery application (SMD) that enables the exchange of patient information between healthcare providers. ReferralNet is used extensively across the healthcare industry by GPs, Specialists, Allied Health, Community Health, Hospitals, Pathology, Radiology and many others.
ReferralNet enables the information produced by one system to be sent, encrypted, received into the recipient system so that the information can be viewed and actioned.
Secure Message Delivery is the secure transfer of electronic information. It means that healthcare organisations can safely send patient and clinical information using the required Government standards (Australian Technical Specification (ATS) 5822 E-Health Secure Message Delivery (SMD) in March 2010.)
ReferralNet conforms with these standards and is listed in the Australian Digital Health Agency (ADHA) PIP eHealth register.
ReferralNet can send and receive almost any file type including reports, referrals, pathology results, radiology results, discharge summaries and letters. This is in comparison to other vendors that limit the payload that can be sent.
Predominantly, Australian healthcare applications create and consume HL7 messaging. These include REF I^12, ORU, ORM. Additionally, many systems can create and consume CDA messages. ReferralNet can transport all HL7 and CDA messages.
Secure Messages are charged for both sent documents and documents received by ReferralNet. However, users are only charged per document exchanged, not for the number of pages in each document.

Once you have purchased, our support team will contact you to schedule an installation with your or your IT support.
Once installed you need to identify who you will send to, and who you would like to receive from. Assessing your fax and paper copies of patient information is a good way of doing this.
You should advise health practitioners that you prefer to send and receive securely and to send all information to your practice and practitioners via ReferralNet. You can place this information in the footer of common letter templates or send these practitioners a letter advising them directly.
