HELP IMPROVE YOUR REFERRAL PROCESS
ANNOUNCING THE NEW AHS
ALBERTA REFERRAL DIRECTORY
The Alberta Referral Directory is a provincial initiative supported by Alberta Health (AH), Alberta
Health Services (AHS), the Alberta Medical Association (AMA) and the College of Physicians and
Surgeons of Alberta (CPSA).
The directory is a searchable, centralized, web-enabled tool allowing referral requestors (e.g.
family physicians, referral coordinators, medical office assistants) to access referral information
for consultants (including specialists and family physicians who accept consultations for areas of
interest or expertise).

Healthcare providers can access the directory in a variety of ways:
o Netcare on the ‘Resources’ section
o AHS Insite website on the ‘Employee Tools’ section
o External website address www.albertareferraldirectory.ca. This site requires a log
in using a physician’s CPSA number, first and last name to ensure the directory
information is secure from public view.

This free website is secure and searchable. It is a streamlined, efficient way of accessing
consultant referral information to assist in getting patients to the right provider at the right
time.

Consultants create profiles on the directory which informs primary care providers of the
consultant’s area of interest, what documentation and tests should be done prior to the
consultation as well as an approximate time to routine referral appointment.

Through automated email reminders to consultants entered in the ARD and with the
support of ARD staff, content will be regularly reviewed and updated in order to stay
current and accurate.
The Alberta Referral Directory Team is happy to assist with the development of your profile in the
directory. Please contact us today to learn more about Alberta Referral Directory.
