SECURE messaging company HealthLink has acquired the pharmacy-used Telstra Health's secure messaging and eReferrals portfolio, which includes the Argus secure messaging service and the ConnectingCare web-based eReferrals delivery platform, reported Pulse IT.
Telstra Health and HealthLink have aimed to set up a transition plan to ensure users face "no disruption" to services or support.
A Telstra Health spokesperson said Argus users will receive the same level of support through HealthLink, including access to the HealthLink nationwide network.
"They can also anticipate benefits from HealthLink's substantial investments in its technology platforms, particularly in API and FHIR-based messaging solutions," the spokesperson said.
In addition, HealthLink has provided its secure messaging, eReferral and SmartForms solutions for NSW Health's Engage Outpatients program, the My Aged Care eReferral SmartForm, and the SA Health statewide eReferrals program.
Owner of HealthLink, Clanwilliam Australia's Managing Director Dave Young, told the publication his priority was to ensure a seamless transition for new customers.
"We are committed to maintaining the high standards and quality of service that they are used to, as well as offering new and innovative solutions to our expanded customer base," Young said in a statement.
"The company is investing substantially in our technology platforms, particularly in API and FHIR-based messaging solutions, strategically aligning ourselves with national digital health strategies." JG
