With the solution becoming WA MHC’s core EMR solution for managing the treatment of clients and enabling users to connect to critical infrastructure such as the Government’s MyHealthRecord and comply with other Digital Health initiatives such as Secure Messaging and prescribing.

MasterCare has emerged as the market-leading EMR for Australian Community Health organisations in recent years, with the WA MHC join being the latest of several key accounts to select MasterCare EMR in 2020.

The Project will see the delivery of a module in MasterCare that will collect and report the WA MHC’s data set for drug and alcohol services, which extends an already comprehensive list of programs now natively supported in the application.

The future of the MasterCare Platform

The length of the contract also demonstrates faith in the company’s roadmap and vision to transition from the current MasterCare EMR user-base to the company’s next generation SaaS solution, MasterCare+, in the years to come.

The WA Mental Health Commission will be kept up-to date on the progress of the development of MasterCare+ and will have the option to transition to the new platform at their discretion throughout the duration of the contract period.
