Did you know that CREMS Referrals with consent (i.e. CREMS “yes”) go directly to Home & Community Care Support Services (HCCSS)?
Home & Community Care Support Services, formally known as the Local Health Integration Network (LHIN), oversees the referral and provision of homecare services in Ontario. When your patient consents to a CREMS referral, it will be sent directly to service providers who will complete an assessment for homecare service eligibility. HCCSS only receives information that is included in the CREMS section and does not include any other “free text” areas (such as the “Remarks” section) of the ePCR. Only CREMS non-consent (i.e. CREMS “no”) referrals are directed to the Community Paramedicine Unit for follow-up.
Did you forget to include your CREMS Referral in your ePCR or do you have urgent concerns about unmet needs in the home?
Please email details to cphome@toronto.ca and the Community Paramedicine Unit will follow up. Please provide as many details as possible such as Run #, Name, Address, etc.
Did you know that Toronto Paramedics submitted over 4,500 CREMS Referrals in 2022?
Thank you for continuing to be patient advocates!
