MediRecords unveils Evolve Direct, an AI-powered inbox management solution

MediRecords unveils Evolve Direct, an AI-powered inbox management solution.

Media Release 

MediRecords today announced the upcoming launch of Evolve Direct, an innovative AI-powered tool designed to streamline medical clinic inbox management and dramatically reduce administrative burden, scheduled for release in early 2026.

For many clinics, managing incoming documents has been a time-consuming, manual process. Staff have traditionally downloaded documents from external inboxes, located the correct patient, and uploaded files into the clinical system—a repetitive workflow prone to human error. 

Evolve Direct changes everything. 

Leveraging advanced AI technology, Evolve Direct automates the entire process: 

Analyses and classifies incoming documents

Assigns the correct provider

Matches documents to the right patient record

Performs automated virus scanning

Directs unmatched documents to a Holding Bay for review

This means clinics can simplify the current manual 18-click process to just three clicks, saving time, reducing risk, and improving accuracy. 

Beta testing with existing clients has shown the following benefits: 

Significant time savings

Early feedback from test clinics with up to 10 doctors shows potential savings of up to 120 minutes per day, equating to:

  • 10 hours per week
  • 40 hours per month
  • 480 hours per year

Major reduction in manual effort

  • Previous workflow: ~18 clicks per document 
  • Evolve Direct workflow: 3 clicks

That’s an 83% reduction in manual steps, fewer touchpoints, and less cognitive load for staff. 

Improved accuracy & reduced risk

Enhanced security

Scalable for growth 

As document volume increases, Evolve Direct absorbs the workload without adding pressure to admin teams, supporting sustainable business growth.

MediRecords founder and chief executive officer Matthew Galetto said the launch demonstrates a commitment to simplifying clinic workflows to reduce burnout and boost patient care.

“Evolve Direct provides a significant boost for clinics under increasing cost and time pressures. By largely automating inbox management, we’re helping practices reclaim hours each week, reduce risk, and focus on delivering quality care.”

Matthew Galetto, MediRecords Founder and CEO 

Building a multi-agent AI future for healthcare

The launch of Evolve Direct is part of MediRecords’ broader strategy to introduce a suite of specialised AI agents that lift efficiency, accuracy, and quality across clinical and administrative workflows. MediRecords has already deployed Evolve Patient Summary, an AI agent that rapidly distils a patient’s record into a clear, usable snapshot for clinicians.

More agents are planned. Each will draw on MediRecords’ position as the patient system of record, unlocking rich clinical data and automating time-heavy tasks so practices can operate with greater confidence, speed, and scale. Evolve Direct is the next step in that journey, with further AI-driven tools set to roll out through early and beyond.

MediRecords partners with General Practice Registrars Australia

MediRecords partners with General Practice Registrars Australia to support the next generation of GPs and RGs

Media Release 

General Practice Registrars Australia welcomes MediRecords’ support for the next generation of GPs and RGs

General Practice Registrars Australia (GPRA) has announced a new partnership with MediRecords, offering GPRA members exclusive discounts and access to Australia’s leading cloud-based clinical and practice management software.

The collaboration will support the next generation of doctors as they build their careers and future-proof their practices with a digital platform that travels with them.

MediRecords enables GPs and Rural Generalists (RGs) to securely access patient records from anywhere – whether consulting in a clinic, delivering telehealth, working in aged care facilities, or in a remote community.

GPRA President Dr Chris Dickie said patients are increasingly wanting to access their care from GPs and RGs via a variety of pathways – including digital platforms. 

“The future is here, and the use of digital, safe and accessible platforms is just another way a doctor can keep in touch with their patient and vice versa, for the benefit of their health. While not replacing face-to-face care, the safe use of digital technologies is now a critical tool in the doctor’s service model. MediRecords recognises the unique needs of GPRA members as they embark on their professional journey.”

Dr Chris Dickie, GPRA President 

With MediRecords, GP and RG registrars and early-career doctors can gain familiarity with secure, cloud-based systems that support flexible models of care. As they progress in their careers and transition into roles with greater autonomy, they’ll have the capability to build their practices using digital tools that enhance the way they deliver patient care.

As a fully cloud-based platform, MediRecords eliminates the need for on-site servers, offering a scalable, mobile solution that supports today’s increasingly flexible models of healthcare delivery.

Its API connectivity also allows doctors to innovate and integrate with other digital health tools, creating opportunities to build dynamic, patient-centred businesses.

MediRecords CEO Matthew Galetto welcomed the partnership, noting the alignment between the two organisations.

“MediRecords has a growing client base of early career, entrepreneurial doctors who want flexibility in their careers. Our platform gives GPRA members the freedom to work how and where they want, while leveraging our API connectivity to build truly exciting new healthcare businesses. It’s a great fit, and we look forward to supporting GPRA members as they shape the future of general practice.”

Matthew Galetto, MediRecords Founder and CEO 

The partnership underscores a shared commitment to empowering the next generation of GPs with tools that meet modern healthcare demands, enabling mobility, connectivity, and innovation, while upholding standards of healthcare and quality general practice.

The Engage portal allows patients to:

  • Book appointments online
  • Securely store payment details
  • View their current medication list
  • Access and share results, correspondence, and education materials
  • Receive and complete tasks assigned by their healthcare team
  • Manage digital consent workflows.

By giving patients secure access to their records and enabling direct communication with their healthcare providers, Engage enhances safety and empowers people to take an active role in their care.

MediRecords CEO Matthew Galetto said the launch of Engage marks an important milestone in MediRecords’ mission to connect patients and clinicians on a single, cloud-based platform.

“Engage is the next step in our mission to connect patients and clinicians,” Mr Galetto said. “Building on the success of our existing patient portal, used by more than 150,000 patients, Engage delivers a more interactive, intuitive and fully white labelled experience.
“It gives patients greater access to their health information and more control over how they manage their care, while giving practices the tools to streamline workflows, cut down on phone calls and improve patient safety. As we phase out our current mobile app and online booking tools in 2026, Engage represents the next generation of patient engagement, providing a single, seamless platform designed for the future of connected care.”

Engage integrates with MediRecords’ cloud-based clinical and practice management platform, allowing practices to streamline workflows while giving patients greater visibility of their health information.

The launch of Engage underscores MediRecords’ commitment to building a connected healthcare system that delivers better outcomes for patients while reducing the administrative burden on practices.

MediRecords teams with Heidi Health for smarter clinical notes
 

MediRecords teams with Heidi Health for smarter clinical notes

AI note-taking technology to streamline clinical documentation will be available in MediRecords from October.

 

The leading cloud electronic health record and practice management system will offer an integration with Heidi Health’s AI Medical Scribe, enabling clinical consultations to be transformed into notes or documents in seconds. Doctors will not need to log into a separate software system, or cut and paste across browser tabs, thanks to embedded Heidi capability inside MediRecords.

Supporting millions of sessions per month, Heidi generates documents such as referral letters, clinical notes and Care Plans. With Heidi scribing, doctors can type less and reclaim time for patient care — or better work life balance.

MediRecords Founder and CEO Matthew Galetto said: “Everything we can do to improve working conditions for clinicians helps them provide better patient outcomes. We are excited about partnering with Heidi Health and our other AI initiatives on the way.”

Heidi Health Founder and CEO Dr Thomas Kelly said: “As a clinician, I recognise that doctors rarely experience benefits from introducing new tools. Heidi is the rare case where simply clicking a button can be life-changing, saving hours of work each day. We’re proud to be partnering with MediRecords, who have led the industry in cloud, interoperability and now, AI.”

Heidi Health data shows clinicians spend more than two hours per day on tasks other than patient care, losing up to $66,000 annually as a result. AI scribe technology means they can work up to twice as efficiently. Doctors who use Heidi report “getting home on time” and “taking their lunch break again.”

With a Heidi subscription, MediRecords users can launch AI ambient technology from their clinical dashboard, transforming consultations into templated notes for review by the user. Once reviewed, the notes are automatically added to MediRecords’ Today’s Notes field. Heidi Health technology is GDPR and APP (Australian Privacy Principles) compliant and ISO27001 and SOC2 accredited for security.

MediRecords is a multidisciplinary EHR and PMS system used by clients including Queensland Health, the Victorian Virtual Emergency Department and soon to be deployed by the Australian Defence Force.

MediRecords wises up on CSIRO’s Smart Forms for Healthcare
 

MediRecords wises up
on CSIRO’s Smart Forms
for Healthcare

Leading cloud healthcare technology company MediRecords is deploying CSIRO’s open-source Smart Forms software to develop FHIR forms for rapid deployment into clinical use. 

The initiative will see Smart Forms technology deployed in the MediRecords platform, enabling faster access to new clinical assessment tools and patient surveys. 

The first Smart Form, a Falls Risk Assessment, is expected to be available in MediRecords this month. 

Commissioned by the Commonwealth Department of Health, Smart Forms technology was developed to improve health assessment procedures and clinical information sharing, leading to better patient outcomes. This was first demonstrated through the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Check Assessment Smart Form. 

Standardised forms can streamline how clinicians capture patient data and simplify how this data is made available for research and other analysis. 

MediRecords Integrations Lead Sanjeed Quaiyumi said Smart Forms would accelerate the introduction of new health assessments within MediRecords. 

“MediRecords is laying the foundations for the adoption of Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) in the broader health ecosystem, having developed and implemented an extensive library of FHIR and API resources. Smart Forms provide an exciting new way to gather and share data.” 

What are Smart Forms? 

Smart Forms conform to the HL7 FHIR Structured Data Capture and SMART App Launch Implementation Guides, ensuring seamless interoperability between clinical systems and applications. This standardised approach facilitates exchange of electronic health information across a diverse range of platforms. 

Key benefits of Smart Forms include: 

  • Interoperability: Facilitating seamless data exchange between FHIR-enabled healthcare applications and systems 
  • Adaptability: Customisable forms tailored to specific clinical contexts and user needs 
  • Standardisation: Adherence to standardised data formats and coding conventions for consistency in healthcare data representation 
  • Security: Robust security measures to safeguard patient data and maintain privacy 
  • User-Friendly Interface: Designed for accessibility across various levels of technical expertise 
  • Enhanced Workflow Efficiency: Streamlined data capture, retrieval, and exchange processes for improved decision-making and patient care coordination. 

MediRecords will use Smart Forms to expand its range of clinical templates, starting with the Falls Risks Assessment and extending to inpatient Admissions and Primary Care Assessments forms. 

This initiative underscores MediRecords’ commitment to driving innovation and enhancing healthcare outcomes through cutting-edge technologies. By harnessing the power of CSIRO’s Smart Forms, MediRecords aims to significantly improve data capture options, providing clinicians with advanced tools for delivering personalised patient care. 

MediRecords actively participates in the Sparked FHIR Accelerator community. Sparked is a collaboration between Department of Health and Aged Care, the Australian Digital Health Agency, HL7 Australia and CSIRO’s Australian e-Health Research Centre.

MediRecords welcomes Queensland Health contract extension

MediRecords welcomes Queensland Health contract extension

Pioneering cloud technology company MediRecords has renewed its statewide contract with Queensland Health for provision of a Practice Management Enterprise Solution (PMES).

 

The contract extension means Queensland Hospital and Health Services can deploy functions such as ePrescribing within MediRecords’ clinical platform, while continuing use of the Medicare billing and reporting workflows implemented in 2019.

Use of the clinical records platform is growing, with MediRecords now supporting Queensland Health (QH) teams in alcohol and other drug clinics and virtual care.

The renewed Standing Offer Arrangement (SOA) is for an initial term of three years with an option to extend two.

MediRecords Founder and Chief Executive Officer Matthew Galetto welcomed the SOA extension and the opportunity to innovate with QH teams.

“As an industry leader in cloud hosted FHIR technology, the sky is the limit for how we can support Queensland Health staff and patients.”

Mr Galetto said the MediRecords billing and claiming platform had delivered significant efficiency gains for Queensland Health since 2019, including an 85% reduction in rejected Medicare claims realised within two months of go live.

“With more than 6000 subscribers within Queensland Health, we have been able to demonstrate the value and efficiency of a scalable solution for a large enterprise client,” Mr Galetto said.

MediRecords was the first clinical and administrative, cloud-based software as a service (SaaS) application introduced within the QH IT environment.

Implemented to support private practice billing, receipting, distribution and reporting of practice revenue on behalf of medical officers, MediRecords also provides appointment management and clinical records at some HHSs.

New features to be added to the MediRecords platform in 2024 include transaction reports, deposits, an inpatient Admissions Module, and new patient portal.

      MediRecords on FHIR at Northern Health
       

      MediRecords on FHIR
      at Northern Health

      Mental Health teams at Northern Health now have access to the MediRecords e-Prescribing platform, following successful integrations with the hospital’s patient administration system (PAS) and Clinical Patient Folder (CPF) software.

       

      The pioneering FHIR (Fast Health Interoperability Resources) connections mean doctors don’t have to search a second database for patient records and can generate electronic prescriptions quickly, informed by current clinical information, including allergies and medication histories. Prescription records are then sent to CPF in real time, and no longer have to be posted to patients or manually scanned and uploaded to hospital digital records.

      The FHIR go-live signals Phase 2 of MediRecords’ implementation at Northern Health, following an initial launch as a stand-alone system for Victorian Virtual Emergency Department (VVED) doctors in July 2022. Wider use of the e-Prescribing system is being adopted, with Northern’s Outpatient clinics and mental health included in a staggered roll out from 31st January 2023. This implementation was the first FHIR implementation performed at Northern Health.

      MediRecords Chief Executive Officer Matthew Galetto said Northern Health had demonstrated the benefits of using industry-leading FHIR technology to streamline data interoperability and support efficient patient care in a hospital setting.

      “It is important for healthcare organisations investing in new digital health projects to future proof their investments by adopting the latest standards. Implementing FHIR will help organisations stay ahead of the curve and meet near future regulatory requirements,” Mr Galetto said.

      Mr Galetto said MediRecords would be releasing additional FHIR integration pathways for clients throughout 2023, as part of the Connect pillar underpinning the MediRecords platform.

      “We are fortunate to be at the forefront of FHIR development in Australia, thanks to our role in the Leidos-led consortium delivering a new Health Knowledge Management (HKM) system for the Australian Defence Force,” Mr Galetto said.

      “Data sharing for the HKM project has applicability throughout Australian healthcare and means we will be able to connect health care records in primary care all the way up to hospital, or tertiary care. This will help provide patients and clinicians with access to the right data at the right time, with significant safety benefits.”

      Mr Galetto thanked Northern Health for being an early adopter of the technology, the first time MediRecords has been deployed in a hospital setting supporting virtual care.

      “The Northern Health team are pioneers in virtual care and are now leading the way in connecting patient information systems.”

      Northern Health’s Mental Health Division provides hospital-based, community and specialist mental health services to youth, adults and aged people across northern and western Melbourne. The introduction of ePrescribing means prescriptions can be sent instantly and electronically to patients or carers, with a QR code to be scanned at pharmacies for dispensing. This provides significantly faster access to new and repeat medications for mental health clients.
