Allied health's digital access program gains first vendors
On 25 February, the Australian Digital Health Agency () announced that Beyond Essential Systems () and 聽have been contracted to provide allied health professionals with the ability to add to and access essential health information via My Health Record and electronic prescribing services. The access is intended to enhance clinical decision-making at the point of care, with these two software vendors being the first of many to sign up.
This is a result of the Agency鈥檚 approach to market through the 黑料吃瓜群网 Industry Offer in September 2024, with the Agency Chief Program Officer Paul Creech saying that allied health professionals鈥� readiness to adopt digital health tools is matched by software vendors鈥� enthusiasm to design specific solutions for them. 鈥淩ecognising the sector鈥檚 diversity, the Agency will co-design programs with vendors that are tailored to the unique needs of different allied health professions,鈥� Creech said.
鈥淭his will be followed by Healthcare Identifier (HI) Service integration, My Health Record connection, electronic prescribing connection, and concluding with conformance and testing before product delivery,鈥� Creech added. The software solutions will manage medical documentation and include functionality for authorised clinicians to generate electronic prescriptions through the National Prescription Delivery Service (NPDS), in an initiative that promises to significantly enhance the capabilities and efficiency of the allied health sector.

BES CEO Michael Nunan said the project will leverage BES鈥檚 existing capabilities and that 鈥渨e are committed to improving the management of allied healthcare consumers and will build on our capacity in collaboration with the Agency and other partners鈥�.
