Join us on October 31 for our Referral and Consultation Summit, an event we’re hosting in partnership with the College of Physicians and Surgeons and Shared Health. Together, we are aiming to make the whole referral and requisition process work better, both for sending and receiving physicians. 

The Summit will focus on several topics related to referrals and consultations: 

• What could a referral directory look like to help refer patients to the right consultant the first time? 
• What could help consulting physicians reduce the number of misdirected referrals and missing information? 
• What’s needed to improve the requisition and reporting process for diagnostic imaging and labs? 
• What would it take to eliminate the fax machine for referrals and requisitions? 
• How can we improve consulting options for emergent (same day on-call), urgent advice (one week e‑Consult or RACE), and elective (consultation) situations? 
• How can the CPSM Standard for Collaborative Care better reflect the varied needs and interests of the profession while remaining patient-centered? 

The Summit will spotlight promising practices from other provinces, and include important perspectives from: 

• Dr. Nichelle Desilets, President of Doctors Manitoba 
• Dr. Alexis Botkin, Medical Lead for Reducing Administrative Burden 
• Dr. Ainslie Mihalchuk, Registrar and CEO of CPSM 
• Dr. Chris Christodoulou, Interim President and CEO of Shared Health
