Specialist advice in 2 days not 2 years
Mater Hospital Brisbane offers a ‘Request for Advice’ (RFA) service to support GPs wanting access to specialist endocrinology, cardiology, dermatology, respiratory and sleep, neurology, infectious diseases, renal and obstetric-medicine.
This is not a referral to Mater, but is a request for timely clinical advice which may eliminate the need for a specialist face-to-face outpatient consultation.
The service uses a secure messaging platform and is asynchronous. GPs will receive feedback from the Mater eConsultant team within 3 business days.
Mater eConsultant is easily accessed using a template set up within the practice software system. Templates and intructions for installing can be found by clicking here.
