Request SFDPH CareLink

Referring providers and other community organizations use SFDPH CareLink for information access, order entry, and more for shared patients.

Qué debe hacer

1) Before requesting access to SFDPH CareLink

  • Check with your system vendor or IT department to see if you can get what you need pulled into your organization’s EHR. It is always easier to work within your own system than to login to a different system.  
    • Learn more about integration with your electronic medical record.

 

  • To qualify for SFDPH CareLink, external organizations must have a system access agreement in place with DPH.

2) New CareLink site access

  • A site represents your workplace and must exist before you can add user accounts (office, nursing home, Program, etc.).

3) Add a new CareLink user

  • If someone at your workplace already has access, your workplace has a CareLink site. If you aren’t sure, check the list attached below:
  • Each CareLink site has at least one designated CareLink Site Administrator to coordinate and manage the site’s access to CareLink and be the first point of contact for any staff questions/problems.  If your workplace has a CareLink Site, ask your site's CareLink Site Administrator to arrange access for you (if not, see step 2).
