Electronic Clinical Messaging

The modern health system requires integration and co-ordination amongst service providers. HealthLink provides a proven, robust and flexible system to move information.

HealthLink automates and standardises the exchange of medical information; replacing time-consuming paper-based communications with faster, more accurate and totally secure electronic systems. HealthLink connects to a wide range of system types and can provide a range of interfaces depending on the users' requirements.

HealthLink is an internationally recognised health information service provider. More than 15,000 medical practitioners connect to HealthLink every day.

The HealthLink System is a sophisticated messaging and online communications infrastructure. Within HealthLink are incorporated the building blocks needed to reliably and securely exchange Health information.

Using HealthLink, the participants within a health system or sector can exchange all of the documents, letters and reports electronically rather than on paper.

The HealthLink Messaging System is a secure system that provides real time and store-and-forward Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) in a context specifically tailored to the requirements of health providers. HealthLink can use any Internet connection or the HealthLink Virtual Private Network and can utilise permanent and broadband Internet access technologies.
