The latest from Aurabox

Health data interoperability is a critical challenge facing healthcare systems globally. There are several models for Health Information Exchange (HIE), each with its own strengths and weaknesses. This article explores four potential models—Single-Source-of-Truth, Directory, Standards-based Free-for-All, and Hub-and-Spoke—and considers international examples that provide valuable insights.

The Australian Digital Health Agency (ADHA) recently released a draft architecture and roadmap for a new Health Information Exchange (HIE). While the document outlines a broad vision for connecting healthcare providers through data sharing, it raises more questions than it answers. The lack of concrete details, especially around critical aspects of implementation, creates uncertainty across the healthcare industry.

This update enhances both the requester and provider experience, adding new capabilities for fulfilling imaging requests and introducing backend improvements. For providers, the update brings an intuitive request fulfilment process that offers more control, flexibility, and transparency, making it easier than ever to manage and respond to requests. Additionally, we’ve added robust options for requesters to better tailor their imaging requests.

Medical imaging isn’t just for radiologists—it’s essential for many specialists, yet inefficiencies in data exchange waste up to 60% of clinic time. The outdated DICOM protocol demands complex infrastructure akin to building and maintaining railway stations, when the rest of the world is using electric trucks

Aurabox is proud to be working with the Victorian Comprehensive Cancer Centre (VCCC) Alliance to support the PEN-TEST project, a state-wide initiative aimed at improving outcomes for patients with penile and testicular cancer through expert collaboration and discussion. 

We're excited to announce the launch of Family Accounts on Aurabox, a new feature designed to bring families closer to their health management by allowing them to manage and share medical imaging and documents all in one place. Whether you’re keeping track of medical records for your children, elderly relatives, or any family member with ongoing health needs, Family Accounts simplifies healthcare coordination across the board.

We are excited to announce a significant enhancement to Aurabox's sharing tool, aimed at improving the way healthcare professionals share patient information and collaborate on patient care and research. The introduction of a unique PIN code feature marks a pivotal step forward in ensuring the secure and efficient exchange of patient data, including detailed imaging histories.

Aurabox has introduced new features including custom forms and fields for personalised patient care, an enhanced sharing wizard for simplified collaboration, and de-identified patient records for enhanced research while protecting privacy.

Accessing imaging from multiple medical imaging providers during MDT meetings is messy and time consuming. Aurabox provides a central point of access to medical imaging with the potential to increase MDT efficiency and productivity.
