Secure Messaging

There are various secure messaging protocols available for use within Australia. In general, different States use different protocols. There are three protocols currently supported by Bp Allied; these are Referral Net, Argus Connect and Medical Objects. It is usual that only one protocol be used for sending secure messages. Please contact the various providers for more details on their software. Click here for how to send a secure message from Bp Allied.

How it works:
From the Letters area, we create a valid HL7 document from the information provided.  i.e. the Client, the Referrer, the Practitioner etc.
This HL7 document is then saved to the Medical Objects Output folder using the naming convention ClientFIrstName_ClientLastName_Timestamp.HL7 where Timestamp is in seconds from 1/1/1970.
The Medical Objects Capricorn program then picks up the document, encrypts it and sends it via Medical Objects to the Recipient.  Capricorn gets the Sender/Receiver info by reading the relevant fields inside the HL7 document.
