Genie Solutions

Genie Solutions says its practice management platform, including its Genie desktop and Gentu cloud offerings, is providing tools to help meet the changing requirements of practices and their patients during the crisis.

Gentu is a cloud platform that can help practices wanting to enable telehealth and improved remote access. New filtering and bulk communications functionality has been added to identify and communicate with patients based on appointment date ranges, as well as COVID-19 risk factors. Special pricing has been made available for telehealth-related applications.

Genie is also offering discounted and flexible additional licences to meet the need for increased remote access and telehealth. Customers can also now add online patient registration to their software, a new service that allows patients to provide detailed demographic information and telehealth consent online, reducing the time spent in waiting rooms.

SMSs relating to COVID-19 are being discounted by 50 per cent to assist practices with the increase in patient communication volume, backdated to March 1.

MBS item changes related to telehealth are being provided for seamless updates to billing and the company says further telehealth-related services are being expedited.

Clinic to Cloud

Clinic to Clouds practice management platform allows clinicians to offer telehealth appointments to patients through its customised appointment schedule, patient portal and compatibility with telehealth providers such as Coviu.

The integrated cloud technology creates a fully functional virtual practice, meaning patients who begin to display symptoms for COVID-19 can meet with their doctor remotely, avoiding the need for them to present to a medical clinic.

In addition to facilitating telehealth, Clinic to Cloud also offers additional features to triage patients and tailor up-to-date messages before attending appointments such as batch SMS, automated appointment reminders and recalls.

Clinic to Clouds patient portal also can provide customised screening questions and securely share the latest updates of how the practice is responding COVID-19.

DermEngine

MetaOptima has launched a teledermatology module to help skin cancer GPs and dermatologists to continue to operate during the social isolation and quarantine periods. The module gives practices the ability to remotely extend care to patients with a connected patient portal app for secure image acquisition.

DermEngine is the skin cancer management platform used by Sonic Healthcare's IPN clinics, Australian Skin Cancer Clinics and Sonic HealthPlus clinics as well as Healius and Fullerton Health clinics across Australia, and other GPs and dermatologists in Australia and New Zealand.

MetaOptima has developed a targeted onboarding approach for staff and invited patients to ensure they remain connected to the practice at every step. DermEngine's telederm module is also designed to accommodate private billing requirements through flexible payment options.

The company also markets theMoleScope, a skin magnifier that patients can use to image their moles and share the images with their dermatologist.

Firstcheck has developed a smartphone dermoscope that costs just $25 and enables mobile teledermoscopy and general teledermatology services as well as its main skin cancer applications.
