In the coming months, more WA emergency departments (EDs) will transition to securely messaging ED discharge summaries using the system already in place at Fiona Stanley, Rockingham and some rural hospital EDs.
Printed summaries will continue to be given to patients as usual and faxed to practices not registered for secure messaging.
To update your secure messaging details or current GP list, or to register to receive public hospital discharge and outpatient summaries by secure messaging, contact the tertiary hospital your adult patients most commonly attend:
- Fiona Stanley Hospital: Email FSH.HIMSHISS@health.wa.gov.au or see Fiona Stanley information for GPs on the Fiona Stanley Fremantle Hospitals Group website.
- Royal Perth Hospital: Email RPH.GPN.Coordinator@health.wa.gov.au, telephone 9224 3673, fax 9224 2348 or see Communication on the Royal Perth Hospital website
- Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital: Email SystemsSupportMailbox.SCGH@health.wa.gov.au, telephone 6457 3331 or fax 6457 3067.
Once updated, your new practice contact details will be available to other public hospitals in WA excluding some public-private hospitals which use different systems.
