My practice uses the following: 1) HealthLink transfers Frankston Hospital discharge summaries which appear in my Medical Director (MD) holding file, and from there get placed into the Letters tab. 2) eClinic downloads all Gribbles Pathology (and I think also radiology results from their affiliated radiology mob, NMIG) to MD holding file. 3) Promedicus downloads MIA radiology reports to MD holding file. 4) emdata is a service that types up specialist reports from Southern Eye Centre and forwards them by encrypted email to MD holding file. 5) Dorevitch Pathology use a program called Fetch (I think) which somehow downloads results to the MD holding file - I'm not sure the exact mechanism behind this. 6) Victorian Cytology Service also had their own program for downloading there reports to the MD holding file, but I think that they have now changed to using one of the other above systems. 7) Argus - this program enables me write a letter in the MD letter writer and then click the email/send icon to send it (encrypted) to a recipient who uses Argus. It also enables a specialist (or anyone) using word or an EHR letter writer to send their reports (encrypted) using Argus back to my MD holding file. The above 7 systems are all working well :-) But only Argus allows me to send referral letters from my MD letter writer by the click of an icon to specialists, and also to receive specialist reports back into my MD holding file. Argus is here, it works, and it's free. It is taking off in my Division. Would someone like to advise a better system than Argus for the purposes described above.
