Process
Referrals should be made using Alberta Health Services’ Generic Referral Form. Once the form is completed:
- Fax to Endocrine Central Access and Triage (ECAT): 403-955-8634
- For urgent referrals, call Endocrine Central Access and Triage (ECAT): 403-955-8030 to discuss and fax an urgent referral to 403-955-8634 with insulin orders if needed.
- Please consult the Alberta Referral Pathways guide for ECAT for specific information, so that patients can be directed to the most appropriate endocrine subspecialty clinic.
- ECAT will confirm receipt of a referral within two business days by return fax. If a referring physician wants to direct the referral to a specific endocrinologist, this needs to be clear on the referral form. The named endocrinologist has the right to direct care to a colleague if they feel that is in the best interest of timely patient care.
Additional information about referrals can be obtained from the Alberta Referral Directory.
