MediRecords welcomes Queensland Health contract extension

Pioneering cloud technology company MediRecords has renewed its statewide contract with Queensland Health for provision of a Practice Management Enterprise Solution (PMES).

 

The contract extension means Queensland Hospital and Health Services can deploy functions such as ePrescribing within MediRecords’ clinical platform, while continuing use of the Medicare billing and reporting workflows implemented in 2019.

Use of the clinical records platform is growing, with MediRecords now supporting Queensland Health (QH) teams in alcohol and other drug clinics, virtual care, and the Brisbane Watchhouse.

The renewed Standing Offer Arrangement (SOA) is for an initial term of three years with an option to extend two.

MediRecords Founder and Chief Executive Officer Matthew Galetto welcomed the SOA extension and the opportunity to innovate with QH teams.

“As an industry leader in cloud hosted FHIR technology, the sky is the limit for how we can support Queensland Health staff and patients.”

Mr Galetto said the MediRecords billing and claiming platform had delivered significant efficiency gains for Queensland Health since 2019, including an 85% reduction in rejected Medicare claims realised within two months of go live.

“With more than 6000 subscribers within Queensland Health, we have been able to demonstrate the value and efficiency of a scalable solution for a large enterprise client,” Mr Galetto said.

MediRecords was the first clinical and administrative, cloud-based software as a service (SaaS) application introduced within the QH IT environment.

Implemented to support private practice billing, receipting, distribution and reporting of practice revenue on behalf of medical officers, MediRecords also provides appointment management and clinical records at some HHSs.

New features to be added to the MediRecords platform in 2024 include transaction reports, deposits, an inpatient Admissions Module, and new patient portal.

    In April 2018 MediRecords partnered with Queensland Health to provide a Practice Management Enterprise Solution (PMES) to 15 Hospital and Health Services (HHSs) across Queensland.
    MediRecords, a cloud-based SaaS clinical and practice management solution, will be rolled out in rural, regional and metropolitan areas offering private practice services operating under Granted Private Practice (GPP) arrangements.
    MediRecords will be used by over 2,500 administrators and practice managers to provide billing and claiming services across all Medical Benefits Scheme (MBS) item codes excluding pathology for over 5,000 medical officers. Several HHSs will also fully utilise the MediRecords Electronic Medical Record (EMR) and Scheduling modules developed to the latest eHealth standards. On the company’s success, CEO and Founder of MediRecords Matthew Galetto said: “We are incredibly proud and humbled to be chosen by Queensland Health to deliver on its SaaS and Cloud Computing Strategy by advancing healthcare for consumers, clinicians and the Queensland community. The decision to move to the cloud across the HHS network is a milestone occasion not just for MediRecords but for the Australian medical software industry as innovators enter the market and replace legacy software products that no longer meet the demands of modern-day healthcare delivery. Our business is 100% committed to executing on this opportunity. With offices currently in Sydney and Brisbane, we are looking for rapid expansion to the other major cities”. MediRecords will be establishing a dedicated SaaS cloud environment whilst configuring the system to meet Queensland Health functional specifications and integration requirements. MediRecords will be piloted in one HHS by mid-year prior to a roll out across the entire state to the remaining HHSs over a 6-month period. MediRecords will be migrating data from the legacy PMS PractiX, as well as providing product training and delivering support to all 15 HHSs.
