Primary Care Support, eHealth & Information and Communications Technology

Healthcare provider support is divided into three areas: Primary Care, eHealth and Information and Communications Technology (ICT).

Primary Care Support

The Primary Care Support team supports all members of general practice and allied health practice teams – GPs, nurses and other allied health professionals, practice managers and administration staff. The team aims to help practices improve the health of their patient populations by providing information, resources, education and assistance to implement quality practice systems.

The Information and Communications Technology team is focused on delivering quality IT support to the Health sector. Our services encompass:

  • Help desk assistance through e-mail, phone, onsite visits and remote access
  • Supply, installation and maintenance of hardware
  • Supply, installation and maintenance of software

Our existing customers are able to log service requests online via our Web Portal.

Maintenance Packages

Maintenance packages are the most current concept developed by OTliS. They have been developed to assist Practices to meet the current accreditation, IM/IT and PIP compliance requirements. The package is based on implementing monthly tasks such as MIMS updates, back ups, upgrades to software and/or hardware. Additionally it assists practices in maintaining their IT systems, reducing the occurence of problems and subsequent helpdesk assistance.

Remote Access

Remote access allows OTIiS technicians to assist practices remotely. Remote access has proven to be a success reducing costs and saving time.
