#### Supporting Australian Community Health
MasterCare solutions are designed to support the delivery of health services at the community level. Ensuring our clients have access to the best information systems that can improve clinical decision making at the point of care and reduce the burden on our health system.
***“31% of the chronic disease burden is considered preventable” – AIHW***
We ensure our clients can have the right systems to deliver a range of services that include allied health, mental health, alcohol and other drug services, national disability programs, general practice and more.
With a rich history of supporting Australian community health, MasterCare has been connecting the community health network, improving client management and assisting in compliance with complex Australian reporting standards for over 20 years.
#### The Problem – An Inefficient Industry
The Australian healthcare industry is changing, yet many clinical systems fail to adapt, leaving their health organisations stuck. This can lead to an array of operational issues that have an impact on the overall continuity of care and delivery of treatment.
***“10-20% of chronic disease discharges return to hospital within 1 month” – AIHW***
#### 1. Poor Access To Client Records At The Point of Care
Health providers with poor clinical systems often fail to have access to basic client information when providing treatment, impacting their quality of care and frustrating their clients.
##### 2. Paper-Based Processes and Unreliable Data Collection
A large number of organisations still rely on paper-based forms, notes, referrals, and processes that lead to loss of patient information and slower access to treatment.
##### 3. Difficulty Meeting Data Reporting Requirements
Government programs often change their reporting requirements, systems that fail to keep up with these changes can cause losses in funding.
##### 4. Slow Payment and Invoicing Processes
Organisations are negatively impacted by slow payment and invoicing processes for items such as private billing or NDIS payments.
##### 5. Lack of Integration with Existing Clinical Systems
Due to their size, community health organisations often maintain multiple systems, disconnect between these systems leads to double entry, loss of patient information and slow operations.
##### 6. The Growing Importance of Digital Tools for Patient Engagement, Convenience and Connectivity.
Government requirements are forcing software systems to evolve and adopt digital tools. Clinical systems that lack the flexibility to do so cause businesses to fall behind.
MyHealthRecord, Secure Messaging and Telehealth are all examples of digital tools that should be considered.
##
