MedicalDirector and HealthEngine Launch Official Integration across Helix, Clinical and Pracsoft

19-03-21 –Sydney and Perth -- MedicalDirector and HealthEngine have today announced their partnership to deliver a fully integrated patient engagement solution within leading health software, MedicalDirector Helix, Clinical and Pracsoft. The partnership enables practices to securely manage HealthEngine appointment bookings, recalls and reminders, as well as COVID-19 vaccinations with the integration of HealthEngine’s COVAX online booking solution and MedicalDirector’s health software.

With the partnership, HealthEngine joins the MedicalDirector Marketplace — an accredited partnership program that delivers secure, validated and complementary tools to enable patient satisfaction and practice efficiency. 

“Adding HealthEngine as a trusted Marketplace partner, allows us to deliver a shared vision, focused on security, convenience and the power of interoperability. This work demonstrates this mutual commitment to GP practices across Australia,” said Matthew Bardsley, MedicalDirector CEO.  “With this partnership, we’re responding to market needs and what we hear from our practice owners, GPs and practice managers, to help them manage their practice, while they focus on patient care.”

The integration offers powerful benefits for practice owners, practice managers and GPs. The more integrated booking process for both providers and patients is designed to drive patient connections and increase practice growth, by providing practices with more visibility to patients, with 24/7 appointment booking on HealthEngine’s website and app. 

“With COVID-19 as the catalyst, more practices are looking for versatile solutions to take work beyond the clinic walls. Overall, our integration with MedicalDirector cloud and desktop-based software, gives GP practice leaders access to HealthEngine’s marketplace to reach more patients, fill books and grow along with our online booking system,” said Dr Marcus Tan, HealthEngine CEO, Founder and Medical Director.
