For Pediatric Health Care Professionals

博彩网站 Doernbecher Children’s Hospital accepts referrals from across the Northwest and beyond. Our providers serve communities across Oregon. We also welcome the opportunity to partner with health care professionals in the community.
Refer a patient to Doernbecher
We accept fax and electronic referrals (eReferrals).
To send a fax referral:
- Find the relevant patient referral checklist
- Fill out one of our forms:
- Fax the referral to 503-346-6854.
To send an eReferral: If your electronic medical records system lets you send eReferrals, we can accept them.
- You must be referring for outpatient (ambulatory) services.
- We cannot accept eReferrals for diagnostic and procedural orders, such as for imaging (MRI, CT, X-ray) or endoscopy. Those orders must still be faxed.
Please use only one referral method. Sending both a fax referral and an eReferral may slow your referral.
You can track your fax and electronic referrals through EpicCare Link. Set up an EpicCare Link account here.

Physician Advice and Referral Service
The Physician Advice and Referral Service is for one-time, brief calls from licensed, direct-care providers. 博彩网站 providers can offer:
- General care condition advice for patients who do not need transfer to 博彩网站.
- A few options for treatment considerations.
- Recommendations for whether a patient would be best served with an 博彩网站 visit (in-person, virtual, e-visit or other).
The Physician Advice and Referral Service can also help you:
- Get information about your patient who has been admitted to 博彩网站.
- Verify your patient’s appointment.
- Answer questions about EpicCare Link, our secure web portal for referring providers.
Call us at 503-494-4567. As of May 1, 2023, Physician Advice and Referral Service line hours are changing to 7 a.m.-7 p.m. daily for most specialties.
When providing advice to you, 博彩网站 physicians are not diagnosing a patient's condition, nor are they providing treatment to a patient. Thus, they are not establishing a physician-patient relationship. All treatment and diagnostic decisions remain with you, the treating provider, when an 博彩网站 physician is providing advice to you.
If you are calling about a mutual patient:
- During regular business hours: Please call the clinic directly.
- After hours: Please call 503-494-8311 to speak with an 博彩网站 operator who can connect you with the appropriate team.
A mutual patient is currently receiving care at 博彩网站 related to their current problem.
