Following on from the inclusion of the Secure Messaging function in Specialist Practice Manager, Incisive also announce the imminent release of new capability in the 'inTOUCH' application, for Australian clients, which provides functions that are part of the Secure Messaging initiative of the Australian Digital Health Agency (ADHA).

The new capabilities will allow:

• enhanced searching across multiple secure messaging providers using a federated Provider directory service
• interoperability and message exchange with different secure messaging providers and practice applications
• the ability to securely exchange messages based on current and future Australian encryption standard.

Other benefits are that you will have an online Provider lookup option when adding or checking Provider details and also the knowledge that the recipient will be able to receive and view the content of your correspondence, no matter which type of practice software they use.  This will be especially useful when replying to allied health providers such as Physiotherapists and Occupational Health nurses. 

Incisive have integrated the Secure Messaging functions into inTOUCH so that it will allow you to continue to work as you currently do.  We will be providing training material with the update and Incisive staff will be available to provide direct assistance if required.

These new features will be included in release v4.0.0.60 which is expected to be available prior to Christmas.
