Digital clinical collaboration continues to make strides across NSW Health with the ongoing roll out of MedSync, a platform designed to simply, safely and securely share messages and images.
MedSync was created by eHealth NSW in partnership with Microsoft using advice and insights from healthcare experts. The app is accessed via MS Teams on desktop, web and mobile devices, allowing NSW Health clinicians to chat and share images with each other on the go. The images are also securely linked to the patients’ digital health record via the Enterprise Image Repository (EIR).
A game changer and timesaver
Since its go-live in September 2022, over 110,000 clinical staff now have access to MedSync to upload clinical photographs and videos. Clinicians have praised MedSync as a “game changer” and “timesaver.” MedSync has launched at 45 hospitals with another 39 currently underway.
MedSync continues to expand its capabilities with new features including video upload, and the ability to connect with colleagues outside of the MS Teams platform. Additionally, role-based messaging capabilities are under development with a view to potentially deploying these to pilot sites.
MedSync is an important tool for improving clinical collaboration in NSW Health. Its intuitive interface and secure and stable sharing capabilities make it easier for clinicians to provide quality healthcare to patients.
