Provider Connect Australia™ simplifies how you update information about healthcare services and practitioners, eliminating the need to keep multiple directories up-to-date manually. By enhancing accuracy, reducing duplications, and streamlining notifications, PCA™ contributes significantly to operational efficiency and improved service delivery.
A significant milestone for allied health providers and PCA™ is the Australian Podiatry Association joining as the first allied health business partner. This partnership strengthens the network and highlights the platform's commitment to fostering collaboration and innovation in digital healthcare solutions.
The Australian Digital Health Agency says: “In the coming months, we anticipate more and more healthcare organisations to join as we continue extending the connection to government programs, pathology and radiology services, hospital networks, health service directories, secure messaging providers, insurers and more.”
