Hospitals, GPs, Specialists, Midwives, Physiotherapists:
Close the Loop Between Primary and Secondary Care.
Communications between GPs and hospitals is vitally important. In most parts of the world this communication is done by post, fax or phone and in many cases simply fails to occur. Improving the level of GP communications with secondary care is one of the most cost-effective means of improving health system performance. But it remains one of the most difficult areas of electronic communications to get right.
HealthLink has pioneered the use of Referral, Status Report and Discharge Summary (RSD) messaging in the Australasian health sector. 100% of New Zealand’s hospitals use HealthLink for their RSD messaging as do an increasing number of Australian hospitals. HealthLink delivers more than five million RSD messages annually.
The HealthLink RSD system is also used for communications among a wide variety of healthcare providers, for instance between GPs and specialists, GPs and midwives, and GPs and physiotherapists.
