Internal Medicine Journal of Australia
"Recently a program embedded in word processing software has been installed that enables encrypted health level 7 emails to be sent to referring practitioners. These are automatically linked to the patient's electronic record; on review by the medical practitioner these are then filed permanently into the electronic record. This reduces the need for letterheads, envelopes and stamps and significantly reduces secretarial time per letter. Early messaging systems were evaluated; however each of these messages were too complicated to inflexible, too inefficient or too expensive to be considered useful. The final solution that has been installed is cost-effective, efficient, easily setup and more importantly allows tracking of message delivery, which was never possible with a paper based system. These attributes were realized only when seeing the systems under evaluation live."

This is from a peer reviewed Journal published by The Royal Australian College of Physicians. They have been using Medical-Objects of course!
"Medical-Objects is very user-friendly and has made the transition to computerised reporting easy. We have cut our postage costs by 70 percent by being able to send correspondence back to GP's via this program which keeps the GP in a much more 'up to date' environment with their patients care". Linda Outen, Practice Manager, Dr Justin D'Arcy General Surgeon
"I have found Medical-Objects to be invaluable in terms of patient care and communication with other doctors. I have used this instant communication facility in place of the telephone on several occasions, it saves my time and it saves the specialist's time. I receive pathology results very quickly, sometimes within two hours of the patient drawing blood." Dr Isobel Macpherson General Practitioner, Alexandra Headlands
"Medical-Objects is the first thing I open in the morning and is a tool that I utilise all day. I use it at multiple sites, and have come to rely on it. It makes my patient care management more efficient." Dr Greg Seeley, Gold Coast Specialist, Clinical Haematologist
