Intake teams and care coordinators

Every referral in one inbox, with funding checked before the first call

Email, phone, fax and portal referrals land in one place. Support at Home referrals arrive straight from Services Australia with the assessment and budget already filled in.

Across care settings

Hospital

Referral emails are read automatically, with IHI, Medicare and DVA checked on the way in.

What changes at intake

From first contact to admission, without re-keying

Home care

Support at Home referrals, already filled in

Referrals sync from Services Australia’s Aged Care Web Services. HealthOS matches the care recipient to an existing record or creates one, with the assessment and budget prefilled. Few systems take this feed directly.

  • Care recipient matched or created
  • Assessment and budget prefilled
  • Starts your intake pathway straight away
The Aged Care Web Services sync history for incoming referrals.

A waitlist that keeps itself tidy

Keep separate waitlists for residential, respite, home care packages and outpatients, each with its own priority score and target times. If another provider admits someone, their referral is marked accepted elsewhere and you’re told. When a place frees up, the next person moves to pre-admission.

Waitlist management with priority and wait time for each person.

Your intake steps, built without code

An operations lead can build a Support at Home intake pathway in an afternoon: referral, eligibility, assessment, agreement and onboarding, with Medicare validation and a budget check along the way. Converting a referral admits the person without typing anything again.

The Home Care pathway in the pathway designer: receipt, assessment and eligibility, waitlist and allocation, each with its widgets.

Identity checked at the front door

IHI lookups and Medicare and DVA validation run at intake through the Healthcare Identifiers Service. Public intake forms create the person record themselves, capture e-signatures and meet WCAG 2.1 AA.

A person’s record with their IHI verified and active against the Healthcare Identifiers Service, and Medicare on file.
Transcription in development

The caller’s record opens before you answer

Your phone number lives in your own tenancy, with call menus, hunt groups and presence. Calls ring in the collaboration app your team already uses, and the caller’s record opens on screen, including when it’s a family member calling. Live transcription and AI call notes are in development.
