Your practice may have recently merged with another practice in your area or are due to merge in the near future. When practices merge, there are a few steps that need to be taken to make sure that your eConsult service is not disrupted. The website and list size of the merging practices will determine how the eConsult banner is given to the practices. If your practice is due to merge please read through the following guide.
Options to merge
Please have a read through the following options to see which best fits your practice merge.
Option 1
One eConsult account to be created meaning all eConsults will be delivered to 1 generic email address/clinical system.
The same eConsult banner to be added to all websites associated to the sites.
eConsult usage will be collated for all sites together and not separately. |
Option 2
Two separate eConsult accounts to be created. Or if both sites already have eConsult then we would not need to change anything.
A separate banner to be added to the websites associated to the sites.
eConsult usage will be collated and sent separately to the sites. |
Next Steps

If you do not already have access to the Smart Inbox, we would suggest to setting this up to ensure all practices affected by the merge can still access their eConsults while system changes are taking place. To set this up please complete the order form here.
Please note that setting up the Smart Inbox does not incur any additional charges. Let us know the users you want to have access by providing their details here.
