Find a patient referral checklist

Our patient referral checklists show what you need to complete a referral to OHSU or OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital.

Enter a diagnosis or treatment to find the checklist you need:

Can’t find a match? We’re continuing to add new checklists. For now, please start your referral by faxing the following to 503-346-6854:

  • Any records that support your referral diagnosis
  • A referral form/notes

If you have a question about the need for a test or record in the checklist: Contact the relevant clinic. If you need help reaching the clinic, call 503-494-8311 to speak with an OHSU operator.

If you can’t find a checklist for a diagnosis or treatment: Send an eReferral or fax a referral form to 503-346-6854.

You can always request an eConsult with one of our specialists.

Choose eReferral or fax

If your electronic health records system lets you send electronic referrals (eReferrals), you can send them for outpatient (ambulatory) care at OHSU and OHSU Health Hillsboro Medical Center.

Please use eReferral or fax, not both. Using both may slow your referral.

See step-by-step referral instructions.

Electronic referrals (eReferrals)

An eReferral:

  • Is faster and more reliable than a fax referral.
  • Goes directly into our electronic health records system, Epic.
  • Speeds up referral creation in Epic.
  • Reduces record requests to your team.

Before sending your first eReferral, please call our Physician Advice and Referral Service at 503-494-4567 to make sure:

  • Your electronic health records system has accurate OHSU and Hillsboro Medical Center directories.
  • We have an accurate list of your clinic locations.

Please continue to fax orders for diagnostic and procedural orders.

Fax referrals

You can fax your own referral form or one of ours, along with patient records, to 503-346-6854.
