19.01.2022 2020 was a challenging year for everyone involved in the medical field, with challenges that could only be described as unimaginable ! IT4GP & IT4Dental set out to take away as many of the IT challenges from our new practices as possible, following a recent survey we asked all of our newly supported clinics how they felt about both the move and ongoing support, let’s just say the response has made our 2021 already a year to remember. "It never hurts to ask" could we get better value & support from our IT?

With the level of flexibility with a full 3CX plan you can maneuver your calls around this ever changing environment.... Call us today, its costs nothing to compare - 1300 366 911

16.01.2022 From a distance it looks like the worlds focus is on only one thing Covid 19, this is sadly the time when we tend to forget about the basics of being not only physically protected but data protected. With actual hardware firewalls installed into each and every one of our clinics we can prevent the fire before it happens, however being vigilant and making sure do not expose yourself to attacks is more crucial now than ever. Talk to us if you have concerns over your current level of protection - 1300 366 911 or [email protected]

16.01.2022 Good News Friday - Government support for telehealth services extended by six months as toll of coronavirus pandemic continues. The Federal Government will extend subsidised telehealth sessions for an extra six months, as part of a $2 billion top up to keep COVID-19 health measures going during the pandemic. The additional funding will ensure Medicare-subsidised telehealth for general practitioners, nursing, midwifery, allied health and allied mental health services will con...tinue until 31 March 2021. Health Minister Greg Hunt said the scheme, implemented when the pandemic first took hold, has been a "revolution in health delivery". "It was borne from necessity but it's delivered better health care for over 30 million consultations so far," Mr Hunt said. "In particular we know it's been used for over 18 million regular consultations by general practitioners. "It's kept the patients safe, it's kept the nurses safe, it's kept the doctors safe," he said. More than $600 million was initially set aside by the Government in March to expand Medicare subsidies for telehealth services, allowing Australians to have consultations with a range of health professionals via video and phone rather than attend appointments in person. The scheme was due to lapse at the end of September. Telehealth for "essential specialist services", such as consultant physician, geriatrician, and neurosurgery services, will also continue with bulk billing and regular billing practices to apply. Mr Hunt said the package would also support the maintenance of other coronavirus health measures. "There will be support for home medicine delivery, continued free COVID-19 pathology tests, as well as further personal protective equipment, respiratory clinics and the state and private hospital partnership agreement," he said. Prime Minister Scott Morrison said the extra money brings the Commonwealth's investment in COVID-19 health responses to $16.5 billion. "By providing telehealth and home delivery medicine services we are reducing the risk of exposure to COVID-19 in the community while also supporting people in isolation to get the care they need."

13.01.2022 Sometimes a solid knowledge base can help with day to day queries if using Best Practice - The Bp Knowledge Base the Heart of Best Practice Software. It sounds crazy, but some of our Bp Premier, Bp VIP.net, and Bp Allied users may not know that each of our products has an extensive, up-to-date online Knowledge Base that’s completely free to access! In Bp Premier and Bp VIP.Net, select Help > Online from the menu to go straight to the Bp Knowledge Base for your product vers...ion. Bp Allied users can click the Help icon from the Help tab. The Bp Knowledge Base contains how-to guides, setup tips, and troubleshooting information on a range of topics like COVID patient management, billing, claiming, My Health Record, reports for provider disbursement, and clinical notes and tools. Below is a short video we’ve created to quickly walk you through everything that our Knowledge Bases offer. While new users will find our how-to articles useful for getting to know the software, our Knowledge Base articles cover every level of expertise, and every category of user from front desk staff, to healthcare providers, to your Practice’s IT support who might be the ones that handle your upgrades and database integrations. Bp Knowledge Base Articles are Updated Every Month The Bp Knowledge Base features new articles added every month in response to changes in the healthcare environment and direct enquiries from our Bp product users. We’re also constantly improving the way we present our information. As an example, the online claiming space has undergone a few changes since our first online claiming articles back in 2016, so we’ve completely restructured our claiming guidance into three channel-based walkthroughs: Online claiming for Direct Bill Batching Online claiming for Patient Claiming Online claiming with Tyro and EasyClaim These ‘walkthrough’ articles are ideal for new users and outline major software functions from initial configuration, to troubleshooting in several easy steps. New articles are always marked as such on the home page of our Bp Knowledge Base. Taking Your Feedback On-Board Have you tried using the Bp Knowledge Base and couldn’t find what you were looking for?

11.01.2022 A real challenge overcome by Melburnians and hopefully a relief on the horizon for our GP Clinics - Melbourne’s COVID wards disband as only two patients remain. Staff waved goodbye as the last coronavirus patient on ward 2G was discharged a nursing home resident in his 70s. Within a few days, the ward would cease being a COVID-19 unit. Sunshine Hospital, which admitted hundreds of people who fell ill with COVID-19 during Victoria’s second wave of infections, has now been e...Continue reading

09.01.2022 R U OK? Day a reminder to reach out It is more important than ever to check in with family and friends this year. Lifting the mental burden can start with a simple question. ‘Are you okay?’... This can seem like a very simplistic question, particularly in the midst of a pandemic. But sometimes that it is the only thing needed to start to lift the mental burden someone may be feeling, according to Associate Professor Craig Hassed, a GP and Senior Lecturer at Monash University. ‘Social isolation can have a very negative effect on mental health, so at any time, but especially in times of adversity, we need meaningful connections and relationships with others,’ he said. ‘Just reaching out to others, showing that we are genuinely interested and care, can make a massive difference to that sense of isolation.’ R U OK? Day, held annually on the second Thursday of September, was co-founded in 2009 by Gavin Larkin to honour his father Barry Larkin, who died by suicide in 1995. Fittingly, this year the national campaign coincides with World Suicide Prevention Day. Eight people die by suicide in Australia every day, with more than 65,000 attempts each year. While there is arguably more information and awareness about mental health than ever before, it can still be challenging to broach a conversation about someone’s mental health. When is it the right time? And what if the person responds that they are not okay? The theme of this year’s R U OK? Day is focused on keeping the conversation going when someone says they are not okay. ‘We acknowledge that sometimes you might feel a little uncomfortable or awkward if someone says they’re not okay,’ R U OK? CEO Katherine Newton said. ‘That’s an understandable reaction and it’s why this year we’re reminding Australians there’s more to say after R U OK? and encouraging them to learn what to say next. ‘It’s important we know how to keep the conversation going, because a conversation really can change a life.’ The national campaign encourages people to: Ask ‘Are you okay?’ Listen with an open mind ‘I’m here to listen if you want to talk more’ and ‘Have you been feeling this way for a while?’ Encourage action ‘Have you thought about speaking to your doctor about this?’ and ‘What do you think is a first step that would help you through this?’ Check in ‘Just wanted to check in and see how you’re going?’ and ‘Have things improved or changed since we last spoke?’

08.01.2022 Are you ready? as we prepare to roll out 100s of computers across our managed network, with government changes in relation to active ingredients, this isn't one you can avoid. Prescribing medication by its active ingredient will become mandatory from February 2021. This change is part of the government’s 2018-2019 Electronic Prescribing Budget initiative that was legislated in 2019 under the National Health (Pharmaceutical Benefits) Amendment (Active Ingredient Prescribing) Regulations 2019. The aim is to improve patient understanding of the medications they take in addition to promoting the uptake of generic and biosimilar medicines to support a long term viable and sustainable market for these medications in Australia. https://www.pbs.gov.au//gene/active-ingredient-prescribing

01.01.2022 An overview of Australia's digital health landscape....... Healthcare systems and providers with notable exceptions - have been notoriously slow to adopt new digital technologies and innovations and to push forward on the road to digital maturity. All that changed almost overnight with the global COVID-19 pandemic - resistance to online healthcare receded, attitudes shifted, regulations were temporarily relaxed and the result was years of digital transformation happened in ...a matter of weeks or days. The adoption of digital health services in Australia has been dramatically accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic and in ways that nobody could have imagined: the key question, as for countries around the world, is how to maintain the momentum, build future resilience and drive the opportunity for innovation in new digitally-enabled models of care. Titled Acceleration of Digital Health: An overview of Australia’s Digital Health landscape, this HIMSS eBook provides readers a broad overview of the country’s digital health developments and features highlights from the nine-episode HIMSS Australia Digital Dialogue Series.
