Helping Australian healthcare become fax-free
ReferralNet Secure Message Delivery is Global Health’s secure message delivery platform for the exchange of confidential clinical and patient information between healthcare providers.
ReferralNet already naturally integrates with Global Health’s existing clinical systems including MasterCare EMR, MasterCare PAS, PrimaryClinic and MasterCare+ for Referral Management.
Achieving interoperability with other vendors will expand Global Health’s footprint in the secure messaging market.
The Australian Digital Health Agency’s (ADHA) trials are helping fast-track interoperability efforts between Global Health’s ReferralNet and Telstra Health’s Argus.
The trials are a vital step to the healthcare industry becoming fax-free, a structural shift that will result in considerable cost savings.
