Secure Electronic Reports to your Practice

Southern Nuclear Imaging Group is keen to communicate electronically with our referrers and, in particular:

1. To send our reports securely using PKI encryption which can then be easily imported into your computer patient clinical record system and

2. To provide access to electronic versions of the hard-copy scan printouts/films.

As you are aware, after due consideration of the options, we have installed the Argus secure messaging software which is being taken up by health provider organisations across our regions.

We would like to encourage your practice to receive our clinical reports using Argus secure messaging so that we can all benefit from:

	saving the cost of staff and material resources spent on stationary, printing, postage, faxing, document handling, scanning, shredding, filing, storage and retrieval, and phone follow-up;
	much less chance of clinical reports going astray in the post/surgery;
	more timely receipt of clinical reports and swifter doctor access to patient information with more timely response to advice on changes in patient clinical management; and
	message delivery assurance and audit trail, through automated electronic acknowledgement.

The Argus software is free to GP, Specialist and Allied Health practices. There are no per-message charges for documents sent or received via Argus beyond normal email costs. Once installed, you will also be able to use your Argus to exchange patient clinical messages and reports with other Argus users.

Promedicus.net

Canterbury Bankstown Nuclear Imaging Referrers.

Commencing in early 2006 your patient's nuclear medicine reports can be securely emailed to your surgery via Promedicus.net www.promedicus.net If you wish to use this service, please fill in the attached Questionnaire and return it to the Keymaster at Promedicus.net (email address and fax number are on the Questionnaire).

Why? If you have digitised your patient's files (i.e. use programs such as Medical Director and any one of hundreds of similar programs) the email reports will go directly into the patient's file ready to be called up when the patient arrives. No more scanning in of paper reports. Also, no more lost reports. A receipt is returned via Promedicus.net to our practice to confirm that the report has arrived successfully.

This MS Word document also contains a survey which is designed to provide us with an idea of what our referrers want. Please take the time to fill it in and return it to us (FAX 02 97906064). It will help us to provide a better service in the future.
