| For immediate release |
| World first Australian innovation the Health Care Provider System |
Designed over 3 years by a team of Medical professionals and web developers, the Provider System takes a very comprehensive medical history from the user, including details which are often difficult to obtain in standard medical consultations. With this information the user is now empowered to make informed decisions on their health care. Patients and the Healthcare Providers authorised by the patients can now view Pre admission, Admission and Discharge information online anywhere and anytime. Healthcare providers can also easily obtain pathology, radiology, specialist requests by the click of a button.
In medicine the quality of care you receive depends on the quality of information that your health practitioner has access to. In the distant past, your local doctor knew everything about you. Now that is no longer the case. It is not often that you see the same doctor each time you need medical care. This is even more so if you live in a rural area where you need to travel to see a specialist, or other health practitioner. Each time you see a new doctor, you need to tell them about your medical history, and your family history, and your social history and so on. If either you or the doctor are a little rushed or forgetful or anxious crucial information can be missed, and your medical care can be compromised. The Provider System is designed as a powerful addition to health consumer’s armament in taking control of their own health.
Provider System aims to be a major player in the online medical field. We believe that empowering the consumer with accurate, up to date, and comprehensive medical information allows them to make informed decisions about their health. Health is an individual’s major asset, so we believe that by taking responsibility for it themselves, and with the aid of tools such as Provider System will lead to better health care for all.
You can integrate all of your health information in one place. Currently each health practitioner you see will have their own record on you. It may be comprehensive, or it may just detail a specific problem you saw that practitioner for. By combining all this information in your own Personal Health Record you can enhance significantly the quality of your health care.
The advantages to a Personal health Record do not end there. As the holder of your health information you are now in control. You can make informed decisions based on the full knowledge stored in your Personal Health Record.
