In the process of handling e-Referral Service (eRS) referrals through EMIS Web, a key consideration is the attachment size limit. Exceeding the maximum attachment size can have several consequences.
Size Limit: The total size for all attachments should not exceed 5MB. This size is based on the combined total of all files attached to a single referral.
If the total attachment size exceeds this limit, you will receive a warning message. This can signify that the referral cannot proceed until you address the issue. Reducing the size of attachments will then be necessary to move forward.
This feature helps ensure that the referral process remains streamlined and efficient, preventing potential delays due to problematic attachments that disrupt the electronic transmission.
File Format and Other Considerations: Be mindful that only certain file formats are accepted in the eRS system. Attempting to upload an unsupported file type or those with invalid characters in filenames will prompt specific warnings, preventing submission.
Ensuring your files conform to these requirements not only maintains system integrity but also facilitates a smoother, faster referral process.
