I can’t believe it is that time of year again although, judging by the weather in Sydney, you could be forgiven for thinking it is winter!

2022 has been a stand-out year at MediRecords. I am very proud of what we achieved over the last twelve months.

We continue to lay foundations for success, focusing on our people and company-making initiatives across all areas of the business. The company has grown to a team of 140 capable, dedicated, and energised staff, all focused on our common goal – building a world class health technology business.

The year started off with a bang by signing the Australian Department of Defence JP2060 – Phase 4 contract, along with our partners and consortium leaders Leidos Australia.

We accelerated from there, growing the team and developing an array of new products and features in response to contracted work and customer feedback. Recently released items and features due for release in 2023 include:

• patient consent, custom fields, and patient tagging
• a mental health module with complex case management
• an occupational health module
• feature toggling, enabling functionality to be easily activated/deactivated
• shared worklists to support team care
• foundations for an inpatient EMR (Electronic Medical Record) module linked to outpatient clinical care
• a universal file upload tool, for adding attachments to clinical notes, consent records and more
• a new letter writer with digital signatures
• a workflow engine supporting alerts and notifications, linked to an event-driven architecture
• deploy anywhere capability supporting multi-cloud and on-premise implementations
• integration with third-party identity management solutions like Microsoft Azure AD (Active Directory) and Okta
• a FHIR (Fast Health Interoperability Resources) API connect service

We also set up two new offices, delivered four major releases to Leidos as part of JP2060 – Phase 4 and went live at Northern Health, where MediRecords is playing a vital role in the Victorian Virtual Emergency Department (VVED). Our implementation at Northern Health includes what is likely the first FHIR-based integration between a hospital PAS (Patient Administration System) and an outpatient primary care solution – well done to all involved.
