Having been there and dive that the trick is to engage with those of us on the floor… a forum like this is great but if the MOH is serious about this then we need definite engagement. If it’s in regards to telehealth then the NZTLG would not only be happy to assist but probably demand it. We have a meeting in Wngtn next week and I would be happy to put this on as a virtually sole agenda item.
Fair comment. I think teams has huge potential.
Greetings Martin
Can you expand on SI use of MLOM?
Presume same as historical conversation of single view of dispensed medications across system
Thanks Grahame
VC in Teams not working as well for us as Zoom- different platforms have different strengths.
A post was merged into an existing topic: Point to Point Paperless Prescribing in the context of COVID-19
A really great opportunity to get GP triage (in whatever format you want to use it) off the ground as well as video consulting, and remote inbox management.
We have the ability to use various different video consult options from within our PMS - for us it is not so much the technology that’s the issue (though across Midlands we have practices with 3 different PMS’s) it’s helping practices make changes in their processes in the midst of a stressful time and while they are trying to keep BAU going.
Hi Lara
I work as a GO in Northland and I use ereferral notification back to DHB for any notifiable disease and the loop is closed S I get a response back acknowledging receipt
Grahame
Yes, horses water and drinking come to mind - have to help them drink!
which e referral notification ?
Hi we use Healthlink and one of our Northland e referral points of referral is a notification header. I can try and get a screenshot if required
Grahame
Northland DHB e-referrals library.

The important thing here is to work with HealthLink and get the message sorted.
Don’t just do what was done here with radiology and use a lab message as the headers will be rubbish
Hi Martin . Unsure if we are talking at cross purposes here. I was trying to respond to Lara’s @lara post about having to still fax notifications to DHB. Ours is a positive closed loop electronic referral notification process via healthlink that works well
Grahame
yes please - maybe useful to close the loop and check no double work
we are making one that is specific for covid
Sorry

Just a note to avoid confusion. There are two instances of ZOOM in our conversations. ZOOM as a VC option for video consultation and Zoom Pharmaceuticals an online robotics pharmaceutical online remote dispensing and delivery entity. Maybe we need to specify when we use ZOOM?
Grahame
All,
Just a quick clarification.
It does not have to cost any thing and anyone can download and use zoom for free, with a free account you can have endless one on one meetings and host up to 100 participants but are limited to 40 minute meetings https://zoom.us/pricing
There are other tools out there but zoom works really well and office 365 has not yet been fully rolled out. So it is a good tool to use and given available on both android and apple a useful tool we can and are using today.
As of this morning I am involved in building an open-source app based on the openEHR ‘screening’ template -which will work in any openEHR CDR. I will keep you posted when there is something to see in the Github repo
From what I have seen the NZ screening guidance is pretty close to UK but we can expect chings to change quite quickly so having some kind of web services to feed ‘live’ curated authoritative screening questions and hotspot locality info will be really helpful- I’m trying to get such a thing going for UK.
Greetings @alan.davis Are you comfortable with me sharing some screenshots of notification aspect of e referral. Or a can you comfortably share the back office with @karl directly
Did try to call
Thanks
Grahame
Yes, no problem with sharing Grahame.
Alan
