I am pleased to report that I have now received the first few letters from a medical specialist via the Argus clinical messaging system. This is a result of the Adelaide North East Division's project to help and encourage its members and local medical specialists to install and start using Argus. The letters sent via Argus just turned up in my clinical inbox. I read them and clicked on the button to file them and that was that. I enjoyed their better legibility than that of scanned documents, their lesser use of hard disk space and being able to file them easily. I was conscious of and very happy about the fact that the letters arrived without our receptionists having even to know that they had arrived or to handle them in any way, saving our practice significant staff time and effort. I have now also sent referrals to the specialist via Argus, and I believe that he has been receiving them easily at his end. I am looking forwards to a number of other specialists practices starting to use Argus within the next few weeks and being able to send referrals to them also via Argus and to receive their replies via Argus.
