Process - Physician - Fraser Health Authority

Fraser East:This program is part of the Fraser East but we are not a co-located program. I provide bothindividual and group therapy as well as case management for these clients. Typically there isonly one group running at a time as there is only one of me. Clients are also able to access anout-patient dietician who is based at Abbotsford Regional Hospital.Clients who see me are required to have regular follow-up with their family physicians formedical monitoring. Because of this, it is preferrable that they are referred by their G.P. I do alsoaccept self-referrrals. There is no referral form. G.P.'s simply fax our office the relevant info.This includes:1. Client demographics- name, address, phone numbers, PHN etc.2. Eating Disorder Diagnosis and any other relevant diagnoses3. Information pertaining to current symptoms and onset, medications, weight if available 4.Follow-up plan with G.P. - i.e. medical monitoring 5. Any bloodwork or other relevant tests ifavailableThat's about all that I would be needing for the referral.They can also phone and have our clerical staff will take down all of the information. Once thereferral is complete, I will then contact the client to complete a telephone screening and tellthem more about our services.Abbotsford Mental Health Contact Information:Telephone: 604 870-7800Fax: 604 870-7801I hope that this answers your questions.
