BPAC Informatics has won an $8.3 million contract to integrate its SeNT eReferrals solution with Queensland Health's statewide integrated referral management system, allowing GPs to send referrals from their practice management systems or HealthPathways directly to public hospital outpatient settings electronically.
The solution is one component of the statewide eReferrals project, which is itself a key element of the $361 million Specialist Outpatient Strategy launched in September 2016 to tackle outpatient waiting lists, which has already seen GPs given online access to their patients' hospital records.
