Do your patients know your details?
When your patients attend hospital, they are required to provide GP details. Finding a patient’s GP and correct address can double the time taken to register a patient coming to hospital. When you are correctly identified as the patient’s GP you will receive discharge summaries.
Give your patients your business card and ask them to keep it with their Medicare Card. Ask them to present it whenever they attend hospital to ensure accurate details are recorded therefore preventing time consuming errors or follow up. Please also make sure your details are up-to-date on the Human Services Directory - used by most hospitals throughout Victoria. See: http://humanservicesdirectory.vic.gov.au/
Change of Details?
If your details have recently changed, please email your new contact details to gpliaison@epworth.org.au - these details will be changed on our GP hospital database ensuring you receive timely patient discharge summaries.
