Introduction
Practices can easily send an electronic referral to the Yorkshire Smokefree Service using the Ardens Communications template that is localised for your area. This support article will provide a step by step guide on how to do this.
Locating the Communications Template
In every patient record, in the top right demographic box, under the patients name, will be a list of various icons, indicating what conditions the patient has. The last icon will always be an orange arrow, as shown in the image below. Simply click on this icon to open the local Communications template for your area.
Communications Template
The following template will then open, which will give you a front page index of the various different referrals that practices can send for their area.
As the Yorkshire Smokefree Service Referral lives under the heading of 'Lifestyle & Wellbeing', click on the 'Community I-M' link (highlighted below) to access this page.
This page will then open. The Yorkshire Smokefree Service e-Referral can then be launched by clicking on the highlighted button in the image below:
New Electronic Referral
The 'New Electronic Referral' window will then open. As the Yorkshire Smokefree Service uses SystmOne, this referral will be sent automatically to the service attached with the patients details, so there is no need to then add the patients details in this window. Everything is pre-filled, including the referral code.
Practices can add text in the 'Enter your referral narrative' box at the bottom - such as a summary of the referral or anything they think is relevant for the Yorkshire Smokefree Service to see.
Once this is ready to send, click 'OK'. This will close this window. Then 'OK' on the Communications template and when done, make sure the patient record is Saved and the e-referral will be sent.
