The Healthcare Information Provider Service (HIPS) is a middleware product offering seamless integration with systems including:

  • Patient administration systems
  • Clinical information systems
  • Laboratory and radiology information systems

It is aimed primarily at supporting large-scale digital health environments typically found in organisations such as hospitals and diagnostic service providers; however, it is also suitable for direct integration with digital health products.

HIPS functionality:

  • Connection to the Healthcare Identifiers Service to search for and retrieve national healthcare identifiers 
  • Connection to the My Health Record system to:
    • determine if a patient has a digital record; 
    • view a patient’s digital health record;
    • post clinical documents into this record including:
      • discharge summaries
      • prescription and dispense records
      • event summaries
      • shared health summaries
      • specialist letters
      • pathology reports
      • diagnostic imaging reports
    • package these documents before submission
  • Dynamically convert HL7(R) v2 ORU messages to CDA documents for pathology reports and diagnostic imaging reports.

HIPS benefits:

  • Lowering the barrier for My Health Record adoption
  • Increasing document uploads
  • Increasing usage of My Health Record content
  • Improving clinical decision making
  • Better patient care outcomes
