The Software

What Is Medical Director Software?

MedicalDirector (from Telus Health, formerly HCN) is one of Australia’s longest-standing medical software platforms — supporting healthcare professionals for over 25 years and used by over 17,000 clinicians daily across general practice, specialist clinic offices and healthcare businesses. The system has two core modules: MedicalDirector Clinical (patient records, prescribing, referrals, patient care) and Pracsoft (billing, Medicare claiming, schedule, patient data). MedicalDirector ensures compliance with AMA privacy recommendations, and the software is designed for a range of practices from a solo GP through to large specialist groups.

PIP provides specialist Medical Director IT support with a wealth of experience and decades of expertise in the system. PIP’s team understands the needs of Medical Director practices — from troubleshooting database connection issues and managing user access to ensuring optimal performance and practice efficiency at peak efficiency. Ideal healthcare IT for Medical Director needs a trusted team that understands the software, the billing, the system and the day-to-day operations of practices that depend on it. Note: “medical director” also refers to a clinical leadership role (usually a doctor); this page covers the software. PIP’s support services assist practices to focus on patients, not IT problems.
