If you are having trouble installing the NCSR utility, or with accessing the NCSR Hub in the clinical record after installation, please refer to the knowledge base articles on Setting up a FHIR connection, Setting up NCSR integration, and Using the NCSR Hub in the first instance. If you are still unable to resolve the issue, contact Best Practice Software support on 1300 40 1111 and select the option for Bp General Products at the voice menu.

If your query concerns the information displayed in the NCSR Hub, or with the use of a form (such as a missing question, or patient data not being updated from the NCSR database), contact Telstra Health support on 1800 627 701.

During the initial rollout of the NCSR integration, some support enquiries to Best Practice Software may be directed to Telstra Health to confirm and resolve the issue.
