Most patients are commenced on PCA in the recovery room. For other patients requiring PCA a referral needs to be made to CPMS by paging 5773 (24 hours) and completing an inpatient electronic referral. The referrer needs to ensure that the patient's primary consultant has approved of CPMS involvement.
