Specialists

HealthLink is a service that enables medical specialists to exchange patient information with General practitioners as well as with laboratories, hospitals and other healthcare providers.

The key benefit of using HealthLink is the fact that the communications system is integrated with both the GP's and the specialist's practice management system.

Integration with HealthLink provides:

• A high degree of reliability
• No manual user intervention
• Joint support arrangements between HealthLink and the Practice Management Software Vendor

The HealthLink system differs from most competitors' systems in that it is integrated with and supported by a number of the major practice management systems used by Australian and New Zealand specialists. A number of the practice management systems provided for specialists provide the HealthLink user directory pre-loaded, so that the specialist can immediately begin sending electronic patient summaries and receiving electronic referrals.

Following are the specialist practice management systems that are integrated with HealthLink.
