MEDILINK SMS EXPLOSION

MARKETING MODULE

Exciting times ahead with our first release of the Medilink Marketing Module with integrated SMS.

Medilink 2017 R1 Update

As always, we have worked to build ongoing value into our updates so you can reap the benefits. This update boasts not just that but much more as it also breaks new ground with our new cloud based application: Project Stratus.
Also, to counter the high cost of posting your Letters, we want to jam into this Update the ability to print Medilink Invoices directly to PDF rather than to a physical printer, then auto populate into your Outlook for emailing. I am sure the extra wait time of a week or so will be well worth the little extra time that we may require to squeeze this in for you.
Other value packed features in this update include the new Marketing module and enhancements to our Recall system. Both developments have come from client suggestions, so please keep them flowing in.
2017 MDS Subscribers will also benefit with further cloud based enhancements providing for more portability and mobility (browser) access to Medilink.
This update will be made available from February 2017.
Please ensure that you pay the current MDS invoice so we can schedule your update.

Marketing Module

Medilink is on target with this update to release stage 1 of our new marketing module. This module will allow you to set marketing campaigns designed to simply say “Happy Birthday”, or that we have a new “Provider” or target your patients advising them of the services you currently offer. You will be able to set the rules and target what matters most to help promote your business.
Stage 2 will provide for an option to better manage your Recalls to help ensure your patients receive your important recall’s and respond accordingly.
SMS has become one of the most accepted ways to communicate so we have endeavored to provide you with more tools to take advantage of this.

There has never been a better time to implement these two modules with the bonuses on offer.
The Marketing Module will reconnect you with your patients while suggesting and promoting your new services or a simple Happy Birthday Message?

Secured Messaging

Our development team continues to work with Healthlink and Medical Objects to integrate at a new level. Now within Medilink is the capability to insert your referring providers secured messaging tag to automate the sending of your letters direct to the relevant secured messaging platform and therefore to your referring providers. This enhances our Document Management System and carries over to: Medilink clinical, our Digital Health Record System. These secured messaging companies typically handle referral letters and results. Medilink 2017 R1 update handles each of these communications more intelligently and parks them in their respective areas of the program automatically.
Major Cost Savings

A single man specialist currently spends $7,000+ per year with Australia Post. By using Secured Messaging you should enjoy a 90% reduction in costs and receive immediate confirmation of each delivery together with  audit  tracking. Medical-Objects secure messaging: supports the ability to audit each individual message sent receive meaningful receipts (acknowledgement) of messages delivered both the sender and recipient have access to audit reports.

Now with the onset of faster internet capabilities via the NBN we are confident these products will prove most desirous and beneficial to you and your business.
We will continue to expand and develop our Windows and Project Stratus solutions. The latter will continue to enhance functionalities of our core desktop Medilink product. In due course, we will be offering a full migration from our Windows desktop application to our Project Stratus cloud based application.
In the coming months, we will also be releasing other new integrated modules such as our new Task Manager and Immunisation Register claiming reports.
