Melbourne-based not-for-profit private health service Cabrini Health has partnered with secure messaging provider Argus to develop the ability to extract clinical documents and correspondence from visiting medical officers' (VMOs) practice software and automatically upload them to its hospitals' webPAS patient administration system.
Cabrini Health's surgical and hepato-biliary groups visiting its Malvern and Brighton hospitals are both using the capability, in which documents such as operation reports, procedure notes and discharge letters can be extracted by Argus from the specialists' Genie practice management systems and attached to the patient's record in webPAS.
They are then accessible to clinicians through Clinical Viewer, the name used at Cabrini for CSC's Mobility Suite, which allows them to connect via webPAS to laboratory, radiology, PACS imaging and medications management systems remotely and on their mobile devices.
