Effortlessly Useful

Custom built to handle WA hospital Emergency Departments’ GP communication needs.

• Automated fax generation and sending:
  • One hour post discharge, CommuniK8 gathers relevant information from EDIS and sends a fax to the patient’s GP.
  • ED Clinicians need only enter information as usual into EDIS – no additional work is required.
  • Clerks are required to obtain patient consent:
    “May we inform your GP of your ED attendance?” and record Y/N in EDIS.
• Fax Customisation:
  • Within one hour of discharge, clinicians can edit the fax, adding details and clarifying EDIS information.
  • For 72 hours post discharge, clinicians can update the fax, adding information and correcting errors.
    Updates will cause a replacement fax to be sent.
• Security:
  • All data is encrypted between the server and client computer (SSL).
  • Each clinician has their own username/password pair.
  • A copy of each version of every fax is kept, including signing and date/time information.
  • Accessible only within the Health Department intranet.
  • Requires site-specific username/password to login.
• Patient’s ED history is immediately available, including other hospital attendances.
• Built by a useability fanatic, the software is incredibly easy to learn and use.
• “We’re incredibly happy with CommuniK8” – Deb O’Brien, ED Director, Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, WA.
• “You’d won me over half-way through the demo” – John Matthewman, IT Head, Swan Districts Hospital, WA.
