Global Health‘s (GLH) ReferralNet has been selected by HEARINGLife as a platform for secure message delivery (SMD).
HEARINGLife is one of the world’s fastest growing hearing care networks, founded in Australia with a history spanning more than 70 years. This rapid growth is largely due to their commitment to a world-leading “client experience”, which has helped the small network of hearing clinics in South Australia become a truly global network with clinics nationally and in the USA.
HEARINGLife’s National Marketing Manger, Duncan Armour, said,
“GP referrals are a very valuable source of clients for us and up until now, the process could be quite difficult and very hard to track. ReferralNet makes the process truly simple and we have complete visibility about which GPs we are receiving referrals from. We can also send all details of the appointment back to the GP so they are kept in the loop the whole time. From a patient experience point of view, ReferralNet makes the process easy and not at all confusing, which for our demographic is important.”
HEARINGLife has been utilising ReferralNet at its Geelong clinic with benefits arising from esharing of information with a range of health sectors including GPs, Public and Private Hospitals, ENT specialists, surgeons, emergency departments, allied health sectors, nursing homes and respite and rehabilitation centres.
Global Health CEO, Mathew Cherian, said,
“It is great that large national organisations like HEARINGLife recognise the significance of eHealth in Australia. It further illustrates that eHealth is not only on the minds of GPs and Specialists, but is increasingly being embraced by Allied Health professionals as well.”
HEARINGLife will be rolling out ReferralNet to selected Victorian clinics in 2011.
