When every minute counts, having the right insight at the right moment is not a luxury, it is a necessity. Yet for many clinicians and practice teams, critical information still sits across disconnected systems and workflows that do not speak to one another effectively.
Inbox overload, duplicate data entry, results to chase and referrals to process continue to consume time that should be spent with patients, often defined by hours that go unpaid and unrecognised.
Telstra Health has heard it. And we’re doing something about it.
Introducing Telstra Health Corus™
At Digital Health Festival in Melbourne in May, Telstra Health unveiled Telstra Health Corus™ – a care intelligence ecosystem designed so that a person’s full health story follows them from one interaction to the next, across every care setting. Built with frontline clinicians and health system leaders from the ground up, not in a silo.
For GPs and practice managers, the promise is straightforward: the right insight at the point of care, without the friction of disconnected systems. As Telstra Health Managing Director Elizabeth Koff AM has noted, despite significant investment, care remains fragmented and the gap between effort and impact keeps widening.
Corus™ is Telstra Health’s commitment to closing it.
Connected care already in motion
Corus™ is not a distant transformation to wait for. MedicalDirector is already delivering practical improvements. Smart Connect, a pathology eRequesting capability within MedicalDirector Clinical, replaces paper-based requests with a fully digital process – reducing manual handling and improving the flow of results. eReferrals and eResults are also on the way, each removing another layer of daily friction for practices.
Importantly, these improvements are being delivered in step with evolving regulatory requirements. Practices remain conformant today, with further enhancements planned through MedicalDirector 4.4 and 4.5, alongside a clear pathway toward more connected care as the regulatory landscape continues to mature.
When the right insight reaches the right person at the right moment, everything works better – for clinicians, for practice teams and most importantly, for the people in their care. To find out what that means for your practice today, we invite you to say hello to Corus™.
