Private Healthcare.
Specialist groups - dental, veterinary, physio, private GP - share an operational profile: a lot of small, compliance-sensitive administrative moments that surround a clinical minute. The clinician time is priced; the administrative ring around it is usually not.
Multi-site groups with 50 to 400 staff typically run a practice management system, a clinical record, a patient portal and a finance ledger, plus the insurer-specific portals. The question is never whether to have software; it is whether the administrative workflow between those systems is being done by people who ought to be doing something harder.
- 01 Referral triageInbound referrals - GP letters, self-pay enquiries, insurer referrals - classified by urgency, specialty and pathway. Pre-brief generated for the clinician; the wrong referrals are bounced before they hit a clinic diary.
- 02 Patient intake & pre-consultStructured self-serve intake, history captured in the right shape for the clinical record, red flags surfaced early. Clinician walks into the room with the useful three sentences already written down.
- 03 Clinician note structuringDictated or free-text notes shaped into the record's required fields; codes suggested not imposed; clinician still signs.
- 04 Insurer correspondence packsAuthorisations, rejections, clinical justifications: the correspondence loop with the insurer assembled into a single pack per episode, cited back to the clinical record.
