Provider Connect Australia
Provider Connect Australia (PCA) is a new service operated by the Australian Digital Health Agency. The service streamlines the process of healthcare organisations, keeping their business partners up to date with details of the services they provide and the practitioners that provide them.
Benefits of Provider Connect Australia
When healthcare provider organisations update their contact details in the Provider Connect Australia service, this automatically sends their new details to nominated hospitals, pathology and radiology services, public service directories, secure messaging providers and more.
The service benefits for healthcare organisations and their teams includes:
- Significantly reduces the time spent to manually notify each business partner whenever healthcare provider organisation details change.
- Reduces and/or eliminates potential errors from manually transcribing information.
- A secure, reliable and efficient way to help healthcare providers stay connected on a national scale.
