Early On E-Fax Referral with the UM Youth Policy Lab

Funded by Michigan Health Endowment Fund, the Michigan Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics (MIAAP) and the University of Michigan Youth Policy Lab (YPL) have partnered with small and large medical institutions across Michigan to integrate an eFax referral template into the existing electronic medical record (EMR). By streamlining the physician referral process, the project aimed to enable pediatric physicians to more seamlessly refer patients to Early On®, a free program in Michigan that supports families with children who have, or are at risk of, developmental delays.

This handbook is a compilation of forms completed by the clinic representatives, documenting the integration of the eFax template into their EMR and the post-intervention referral process using screenshots accompanied by instructions.
