Coordinare, the primary health network (PHN) for south-eastern NSW, is supporting general practices in the region to implement Precedence Healthcare’s Inca shared health record and care planning solution.

Inca, formerly known as cdmNet, is an integrated care platform that enables the patient’s multidisciplinary care team to share care plans.

It works with the major practice management software systems including Best Practice, Medical Director, Communicare, Zedmed and Medtech and is accessible to the patient’s specialists and allied health providers.

Patients also have access to their care plans and can communicate with their care team through a web portal.

The system allows healthcare providers to create Medicare-compliant general practice management plans (GPMPs) and team care arrangements (TCAs) and share the plans with the care team automatically.

It also allows GPs to allocate tasks and send automatic reminders when actions need completing, track and monitor adherence to the plan, and store all approved and shared documentation in one record.

Coordinare says it has secured licenses for the system on behalf of general practices so there will be no cost to use the system, which has been developed and enhanced over the last decade. Precedence is owned by Sonic Clinical Services.

The company has also built the MediTracker app, which enables patients to track their medical information and connect to a patient’s GP medical summary. It can also be linked to other health apps like Google Fit and Apple Health.
