You can list primary and secondary workplaces when they first sign up for an account or add them later under account settings. Our staff can also provide assistance with setting up accounts and multiple places of work.

Does Consultmed support tracking of user activity and clinical workflows?

Notification preferences can be adjusted in your account settings.

Does Consultmed integrate with my practice management software or electronic health record (EHR) systems?

Consultmed is committed to interoperability and has adopted internationally recognised FHIR HL7 standards to ensure secure and efficient data exchange between clinical systems. Our platform is integrated with EHRs (e.g. Cerner, Infomedix) and practice management software (e.g. Best Practice, Medical Director) through our next-generation, Smart-on-FHIR technology.

Our API gateway offers a secure and scalable way to integrate with other healthcare systems and a streamlined approach for developers to access Consultmed’s functionality, while maintaining data privacy and security through authentication and encryption.

Our solution architects will work closely with your organisation to determine necessary requirements and provide technical support and guidance throughout the integration process, to ensure a smooth and successful implementation.

Does Consultmed have a patient portal? How does the platform engage patients?

Consultmed has a patient portal that enables patients to securely send clinical documents (e.g. referrals, consent forms, questionnaires) and to communicate with their healthcare providers.

The platform also engages patients through email and SMS notifications to keep them informed about their referral status and upcoming appointments and to receive clinical documents (e.g. referrals, reports).

Our patient engagement tools are designed to empower patients to access their own healthcare records and to improve their experience through the entire care pathway.

What type of clinical workflows and documents does Consultmed support?

Consultmed supports a range of clinical workflows and documents, including outpatient referrals, inpatient consults, consent forms (e.g. informed financial, research, elective procedures) , patient questionnaires (e.g. PROMs and PREMs), and clinical incident reports. Our platform is designed to streamline and simplify these workflows, enabling healthcare providers to efficiently manage their clinical documentation.

In addition to the ‘out-of-the-box’ forms we offer, we work with customers to customise forms to meet their specific needs (e.g. specialty, condition-specific, referral access criteria). Our solution architects will work closely with your organisation to create tailored forms and triage processes that optimise workflows and data capture.
