Clinical and practice management software vendor MedicalDirector has launched an integrated telehealth capability in its cloud-based Helix system, with similar functionality to be made available in MedicalDirector Clinical in the near future.

Patients will be sent a secure link prior to their appointment and the GP simply needs to launch a telehealth consultation from within the patient's record. The patient's notes and history are displayed in a window alongside the video stream and GPs can update the record during the consult.
