Wellness & Lifestyles Australia (W&L) has invested in both PracSoft and Medical Director, the latest software for bulk-billing and managing its clients who are placed on CDMs (Chronic Disease Management Plans) and those clients who are DVA (Department of Veterans’ Affairs) members.

PracSoft is the fastest growing and most popular practice management solution in Australia.  Used by 3,400 practices daily!

PracSoft links brilliantly with Medical Director:

• With one click in the PracSoft Waiting Room and Appointment Book, the patient is opened in Medical Director.
• Medical Director 3 and PracSoft 3 share a common database:
  • Patients in Medical Director are updated automatically after details are changed in PracSoft, with no risk of duplication.
  • New patients can be added in either Medical Director or PracSoft, and are instantly available in both programs.
• When a Dr is logged into Medical Director, his or her current patients are listed automatically, in the order in which they were added to the waiting room, in the Select Patient dialog.
• An extra window is displayed in the top right corner of the Medical Director screen, displaying the patients currently in the PracSoft Waiting Room.

PracSoft includes comprehensive patient file screens and makes for easy lodging of Medicare and Vet Affairs claims and has an extensive Reporting module. PracSoft includes Medicare Online functionality including DVA Paperless and Online Veteran Verification.

Medical Director (MD) is a simple to use prescription writing, medication and electronic patient management system. No other prescribing package matches its simplicity of use or has as many features and Medical Director is used by more practitioners than all other products combined.

Medical Director was the first free-standing prescription writing software package released in Australia. Since then it has been the first to introduce an ever expanding list of practical features to assist GPs and Specialist to more easily perform their daily ‘patient orientated’ tasks.

Medical Director offers significant benefits to any practice. These include:

• Enhanced MD Mobility (previously known as Upload / Download)
• MD Toolbox – Clinical Assessment Tools
• Improved Backup and Restore Utility
• Faster and more flexible Searching features
• New and more intuitive Menu Layout
• New Document Holding Bay (DHB)
• PracSoft 3 Patient Demographic integration
• PracSoft 3 Waiting Room in MD3
• Improved Practice Messenger System

By combining the patient databases of Medical Director and PracSoft (the only practice administration system to share the same patient database as Medical Director), Health Communication Network (HCN) continues to deliver favourable outcomes in efficiency and reliability for our practice, without the overheads of learning a new program or risking our valuable data with an unfamiliar system.
