eReferral Ontario is the updated provincial platform designed to streamline and optimize the referral process. It launched with a limited rollout in August 2025, allowing select users and sites to onboard. Starting this month, onboarding is open to all clinicians and providers.
eReferral Ontario will work in conjunction with Central Intake to improve coordination and efficiency across the system. As per the Operational Direction: Local Delivery Group (LDG) Expansion to Support Spread and Scale of Digital Priorities, hospitals will be working with their local LDG Lead Organization and Ontario Health regional teams to onboard providers to eReferral. All other providers are requested to visit eReferral Ontario and follow the steps to get started. If you are on the referral network managed by Amplify Care, you will not experience any change.
A key feature of eReferral Ontario is Standardized Referral Forms (SRFs) – digital forms developed with clinician input to facilitate triaging and scheduling based on urgency, appropriateness and patient/clinician preference. SRFs ensure consistency in the information collected and include the right level of clinical detail to support timely care. These forms are built directly into the platform, making them accessible to all users and supporting smooth onboarding and adoption.
See Appendix for list of SRFs that are currently available. The next group of SRFs, as part of Phase 2, will become available in January.
