Patient experience with eReferral in Ontario Health Toronto Region
Patients who are emailed appointment information and reminders report an improved healthcare experience and prefer eReferral to their previous referral experiences.
Quick Facts
When clinicians include a patient’s email address in the electronic referral, patients receive appointment information and status updates by email, can confirm their appointments online, and have opportunity to provide feedback through a survey link.
- 2,500 OH-Toronto patients responded to an experience survey between April 2023 and January 2024
- 87% of patients report being satisfied with eReferral
- 82% of patients felt more informed throughout their eReferral experience as compared to their previous referral experiences
- 59% of survey respondents were over the age of 60
