Thank you for your interest in the provincial Digital Referrals & Orders (DRO) program.

This program is part of the provincial digital health strategy with the overarching goal to transform healthcare delivery into a digitized, interconnected, and patient-centred ecosystem. Digital Referrals & Orders aims to improve patient safety, reduce administrative burden, and create efficiencies with eReferrals, eConsults, and eOrders.

To get started, please fill out the form below. A member of our eReferrals team will be in touch to assess your needs and provide more information.

Funding and compensation: The B.C. government is funding eReferrals as part of the Digital Referrals and Orders program as a priority to reduce physician workload and improve patient care. Upon signing up to implement in your clinic, the licensing fees for Ocean eReferrals will be covered by the DRO program – meaning your clinic can access the platform at no charge. Doctors of BC members and their clinic staff can receive compensation for onboarding and training.

By completing this form, you agree to have your contact information shared with the Provincial Health Services Authority to be involved in the Digital Referrals & Orders program and with Doctors of BC for the purpose of engaging physicians in this work. You will receive updates about opportunities to get involved as we launch new features.

Information about Clinics, Providers and your onboarding needs is collected under section 26 (c) and (e) of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act for the purpose of providing, planning and evaluating health services. Please email dro.program@phsa.ca if you have any questions or concerns.
