What's involved

  1. Step 1: Send us your setup details

    Complete the setup request online below, or fill in the paper form and return it to Medical-Objects by fax or email. Already use Medical-Objects? Please still send it, so they can update the registered providers at your practice and there's no break in your electronic reports.

  2. Step 2: Book a quick remote install

    A Medical-Objects technical officer will call to arrange a time with your nominated staff member, then install the program by remote internet access. It takes about 10 to 20 minutes and doesn't stop your normal computer operations. Prefer your own IT person to do it? Medical-Objects can supply instructions.

  3. Step 3: Receive your information pack

    When the installation is complete, Medical-Objects sends you an information pack with an introductory letter and technical support details.

(03)e-Referral guides

e-Referrals
in four steps.

Pick your practice software for the steps. Set GIG Radiology as your default and it's already selected next time. Each guide is also a two-page PDF with screenshots.
  1. Step 1: Open a patient's file and click on the X-ray icon to start the imaging request.

  2. Step 2: Select GIG Radiology in the Provider dropdown. Next, fill in the request form and click Print.

  3. Step 3: Once Print is clicked, a pop-up appears. Click OK and this will send the e-referral to GIG Radiology.

  4. Step 4: Reception at GIG Radiology will contact the patient directly once the e-referral is received. A hard copy will also be printed for the patient.

Once we receive an e-referral, our reception team contacts the patient directly.
