The Physician Liaison Program at UW Medical Center establishes and promotes positive relationships between UW Medical Center, referring physicians and their staffs.
Our physician liaisons serve as a personal contact for referring physicians and other health-care professionals to address questions, issues or concerns. Information shared with our physician liaisons is important to UW Medical Center physicians and administrators, and is used for planning and evaluating services and programs.
In addition, the Physician Liaison Program is pleased to offer U-Link, an online referral program, to referring physicians and other licensed health-care professionals who provide direct care to patients. U-Link is a free service which allows access to medical information for patients treated at UW Medical Center, Harborview Medical Center, and Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, via a secure password protected Internet portal.
