Secure Electronic Clinical Communication Initiative

Overview

General Practice Tasmania through its member divisions is delivering a secure electronic clinical messaging environment across the whole of Tasmania. This Secure Electronic Clinical Communication Initiative (SECCI) delivers secure two-way messaging between Tasmanian GPs and Specialists.

The software that has been chosen to support this initiative, Global Health's ReferralNet, integrates with a number of clinical systems to build referral messages. This message is digitally signed and then securely transmited to the desire specialist. Once the Specialist performs the consultation progress notes are sent back and can be inserted directly into the GP’s clinical system.

Benefits

The benefits include:

  • The provision of a legal and effective electronic referral method
  • Integrated information directly into most clinical systems
  • Fully secure with Individual PKI encryption of message and secure transfer
  • Instantaneous messaging
  • Patient message history collation
  • Reduction in manual typing
  • Seamless increased information exchange with patient history extraction
  • Practice staff will no longer have to scan letters or faxes to be placed into the clinical system
  • Reduced printing of letters and correspondence
