Key Features
SureMed provides a standardised approach to collect medical information required by authorised 3rd parties eg insurance underwriters.
- Information Requests are delivered to GPs electronically or by fax (where a practice is not set-up for electronic delivery).
- Electronic information requests are delivered direct to the GPs PMS inbox. When opened, the SureMed form prepopulates with information from the PMS. GPs review and amend content as required, then send the completed request electronically to the authorized 3rd party.
- Blood Tests, ECG tests and examinations are also supported. Paramedical services can also be requested for bloods, biometric measurements, and questionnaires.
During the process, Konnect manages interaction with GPs and other health providers. The status of SureMed requests can be tracked online using Konnects workflow management system.
The service is offered at no cost to GPs, and Konnect pays GPs for information requests completed. Privacy protection of personal medical information meets industry and legal requirements.
