Vision eClinic was founded in May 2000 with a vision to bring health communities online. In the six years since its founding, and with a committed team of professionally qualified and dedicated people, eClinic is now a leading ebusiness in the healthcare industry. eClinic operates a number of innovative ebusiness solutions that assist medical practitioners, hospitals, diagnostic laboratories, pharmaceutical manufacturers, pharmacies and veterinary clinics in delivering more efficient and effective healthcare.

With a strong and well-established reputation in providing innovative and secure electronic solutions for the healthcare industry, eClinic is well positioned to address rapidly growing demand as healthcare organisations take their traditional communication and transaction systems online.

Innovation

eClinic has developed innovative services that recognise the value of sharing information across healthcare delivery points while upholding the privacy and security of the information. eClinic enables healthcare practitioners to seamlessly transmit standardised information to other healthcare delivery points across different software and technology platforms, and does so securely using PKI technologies and processes.

• eClinic has fully automated both the request for and the transfer of diagnostic test results – eDiagnostics Services – enabling thousands of medical practitioners in general practice and specialist clinics, hospitals and veterinary clinics to transact electronically, seamlessly and securely with diagnostic laboratories for the provision of pathology and radiology test results.
  
  
• eClinic in conjunction with ePharmacy provides to medical practitioners, SamplesPlus, a comprehensive online resource enabling medical practitioners to access samples and information for prescription products, non-prescription products, medical devices, healthcare services and nutrition. SamplesPlus lists a large number of leading healthcare products, and has a majority of Australian GPs as registered users.
  
  
• PalCare is a secure, web-based, real time patient information management system and service that integrates acute and community care information into a single view of a patient, to enable health and support care providers to optimise the quality of palliative care for their patients at the point-of-care.
