Referrals Medicare can fund, straight from Cliniko
Refr connects to Cliniko to pull patient details automatically, so you can send a refr in less than 60 seconds, without leaving your workflow.
How Refr works with Cliniko
Refr connects to Cliniko so patient details flow into your referrals, and reports and rebookings flow back, without breaking your existing workflow.
Patient details auto-fill
Pull patient contact information and notes directly from Cliniko.
Referrals in 60 seconds
Skip the typing. Open a Cliniko patient, jump to Refr and send a refr in under 60 seconds.
Reports flow back
Imaging results and specialist letters land back with you, ready to attach to the patient's file.
Rebooks with you
After the scan or specialist visit, patients are rebooked into your Cliniko calendar, not lost downstream.
Step-by-step setup
Set up your Cliniko API key
Follow these steps to create your Cliniko API key and connect it to Refr. Takes about two minutes. If you’re not your clinic’s Cliniko admin, creating API keys may be switched off for you. Ask your admin, or book a demo and we’ll help.
Step 1 of 7
Enable API key access
- In Cliniko, click the dropdown arrow next to your name, then "My Info".
- Switch "Allow yourself to create and use API Keys" to "Yes".
- Click "Update User".
Confirm the update
- Enter your Cliniko password and click "Update User".
Open the API key manager
- Click the new "Manage API Keys" button.
Add a new key
- Click "+ Add an API Key".
Create the key
- Name it "Refr" (or anything you like).
- Click "Create API key".
Copy the key
- Copy the whole API key: it runs across both lines.
- Keep it safe, like a password. Cliniko won’t show it again.
- Click "Done".
Paste your API key into Refr
- In Refr, click "Integrations" in the sidebar, then choose Cliniko.
- Click "Set up", paste your API key and click "Save".
- That’s it: patient details now pre-fill when you look up a patient in a referral.
- Optional: add Refr as a connected app in Cliniko to open Refr straight from a patient’s profile.
Less admin. More care.
Once Cliniko is connected, every refr starts with a patient lookup. No copy-pasting, no typos, no fuss.
- Search any Cliniko patient from inside Refr
- Patient demographics pre-filled in the referral form
- Referrals Medicare can fund, plus the clinics that bulk bill them
- Signed e-referral delivered to the patient in minutes
- Reports and letters returned to your inbox
