Patient portal developers - I have presents, please talk to me!

Hi all,

the Royal NZ College of GPs have recently published the results of our 2022 Workforce Survey and our 2022 burnout project. In behind both those pieces of work is a lot of feedback about patient portals, inboxes, send/receive messages and more.

I would love to be able to share this with the developers of the patient portals and, potentially, kick off some collaborative work together. However, with the exception of the fine folk at ManageMyHealth, I’ve not had any responses.

Can anyone point me to the right people at MyPractice, MyIndici or Vensa?

In the interests of not being seen as playing favorites I would like to be able to include as many players as possible, but at the end of the day that only works if someone picks up the line you’re throwing them.

Thanks

  7. Aceso Health - Tom Varghese - https://www.linkedin.com/in/tomvarg/
  8. Intrahealth - Craig Longstaff - https://www.linkedin.com/in/craiglongstaff/

Best wishes to get this endeavour underway.

Would be good to invite them to the eHealth Forum, eh?

With due safeguards.

Thanks Samuel, really appreciate this, it’s a great help.
Better get myself set up on linkedin now!

hi Tom, I’d be really interested in the findings you have around portals, purely out of interest. Is there much you can share on this forum?

Hi Gordon,

I’m sure we can do this - once I’ve taken the developers through it I’ll look to upload or link to something here.
