Tools to improve referrals from primary care to specialty care.

CONCLUSIONS: Well-designed referral templates may help improve the clarity and completeness of primary care-specialty care referrals. Existing templates may provide models that can be adapted in collaboration with primary care and broadly applied to improve referrals. Work is needed to improve the impact of service agreements and e-consults on referrals.
