“When I make a clinical decision, I need to trust the information in front of me. Not just that it exists, but that it's right, current and complete," Dr Pratiksha Nirmal.

At the AAPM Conference, Telstra Health Clinical Director Dr Pratiksha Nirmal and Product Lead Cameron Sampson explored the shift from digitised records towards better-connected information, people and care across healthcare settings.

The discussion highlighted why having information isn't enough. To support better decisions and reduce administrative burden, information must move with its clinical context, helping create a more connected healthcare experience with "one patient, one view".

"Fragmentation is both a patient care problem and a workload problem. When healthcare services don't connect effectively, general practice is left to bridge the gaps."

Pulse+IT captured the discussion, which also provides useful context for Telstra Health's Corus™.

Keeping practice software up to date shouldn’t mean disrupting your day.

Managing regulatory changes, billing updates and evolving clinical requirements can create additional administrative burden for busy practices. And that burden is already significant, with 77% of GPs reporting dissatisfaction with their administrative workload.

At the same time, digital connectivity is becoming increasingly important. When asked which digital health initiative would have the greatest positive impact on their practice, 46% of 670 Australian GPs nominated improved interoperability between systems.

With Helix’s automatic updates, practices receive the latest regulatory, billing and workflow enhancements as soon as they’re available, helping teams stay compliant, efficient and focused on delivering patient care, without manual installs or downtime.

Latest updates include:
✅ ACMA SMS changes implemented to support continuity of service
✅ Updated Assignment of Benefit functionality
✅ July 2026 MBS and DVA Fee Schedule updates available
✅ Enhanced prescribing workflows to further support ePrescribing

When 77% of GPs are dissatisfied with their administrative workload, every manual process matters.

Pathology is becoming increasingly digital and connected. Around 4 million pathology reports are now uploaded each week to My Health Record, while Sharing by Default reforms are accelerating the exchange of health information across Australia.

For busy practices, that makes removing unnecessary steps from everyday workflows even more important.

Smart Connect in MedicalDirector Clinical helps simplify the pathology request process, allowing clinicians to generate, edit, electronically sign and securely send pathology eRequests within their existing workflow.

That means fewer manual steps and a more connected experience, helping clinicians spend less time on administration and more time focused on patient care.
