One patient context
Start with the person. Keep the context.
A useful clinical record is more than a text box. Bring notes, forms, photos and treatment detail together, with the patient-home layout shaped around the information your team needs and is authorised to see.
- The work behind the treatment room door
Keep patient forms, photos, markings and product detail with the recorded treatment.
- A view that fits the role
Configured patient widgets and access permissions keep relevant information available to the right team members.
- A record to return to
Earlier notes, documents and dated patient information provide context for the next consultation. Configure patient fields around the information your clinic needs to record.
- Consultation in context
Where video consultation is enabled for your clinic, join the appointment’s call from the clinical note while keeping the patient context close. Calls without an appointment require separate setup; our team can confirm the consultation options available to your clinic.
“The record should bring us back to the patient. I want the observations, decisions and follow-up to tell a connected story, so the next clinician can understand the reasoning as well as the result.”
Clinical correspondence
Carry the clinical context into the letter.
Prepare a patient letter from a reusable template, review its content and recipient, then finalise it before sending. Keep correspondence with the patient record, so your team can return to the letter and its recorded sending history.
- A considered starting point
Use templates and supported patient details to prepare the letter, then review and edit it for the person and purpose.
- Keep professional contacts close
Use the address book to find professional recipient details. Check the selected recipient before sharing patient information.
- Review before sharing
Authorised staff can generate a PDF or send a finalised letter by email. Letters access and sending permissions apply, and unresolved healthcare identifier alerts must be addressed before sending.
Record management
Keep the patient record useful as it grows.
Keep documents and clinic-defined patient fields alongside the clinical history. When duplicate profiles need attention, authorised staff can review the source and destination records and choose the supported record types to consolidate.
- Choose what moves
Review the merge summary and selected data types before confirming. Record consolidation is a deliberate team action, not an automatic match between similar names.
- Keep the action traceable
A merge event records the source, destination and acting user. The scope depends on the supported record types and choices made for that merge.
Prescribing and medication records
Different clinical jobs. Connected patient context.
A treatment-specific prescribing request, an electronic medication prescription and a stock movement each record something different. Give each job the detail it needs, with clear links back to the patient and the work performed.
Injectable scripting
Connect the practitioner’s request with the clinic’s prescriber, consultation and review decision.
Explore injectable scriptingThe digital drug book
Track medication movements with product, barcode, patient, location and user context.
Explore the digital drug bookRequests and results
Keep the request and the result in view.
See which tests have arrived, what is still outstanding and which results need review. Keep the patient, request and linked tests together, with review, portal release and notification as deliberate choices.
Keep the requested tests together.
Each linked result carries the request towards completion.
Support the patient’s next step.
Keep the request with the patient as they leave the consultation.
- Follow partial results
A request can remain incomplete while some tests have linked results and others are still pending.
- Keep release clear
The practitioner chooses what to share with the patient. Receiving a result does not automatically release it.
Applicable Medicare services
Keep the claim beside the clinic’s billing work.
Support the applicable private and bulk-bill pathways with claim records, statuses and payment reports. Keep the service and provider context in view as the team prepares, reviews and follows up the claim.
A claim state the team can return to.
Filter the claims list while retaining each claim’s own type, status, patient and location.
Connected to the clinic’s billing work.
Keep the relevant service, provider and payment information available for follow-up.
- Distinct claiming pathways
A patient-paid service with a Medicare benefit and a bulk-billed service have different payment relationships.
- A trail to reconcile
Claim status and payment-report information help the team investigate the returned outcome.
The work still ahead
Know what needs a person’s attention.
Outstanding tests, a prescription error and a claim awaiting a response mean different things. Their own workspaces keep the detail available, so your team can return to the right record and follow up with context.
Investigation results
Patient prescriptions
Medicare claims
- Clinical follow-up
Use the investigation queue to find missing tests and results that have not been reviewed.
- Prescribing exceptions
An electronic creation error stays with the prescription for the prescriber to investigate.
- Billing follow-through
Use the claim record and returned information to understand the next claiming action.

FAQs
Which clinical workflows can share the patient record?
Clinical notes, forms, photos, letters, medication prescriptions and pathology can share patient context in DappleOS. Applicable Medicare claiming and medication stock records connect with the clinic’s wider operational work. Each workflow retains its own permissions, configuration and responsible person.
How is digital prescribing different from injectable scripting?
Digital prescribing prepares and maintains a medication prescription, including its electronic result. Injectable scripting connects a practitioner’s treatment-specific request with the prescriber’s consultation and decision. The dedicated pages show each workflow in detail.
What does our clinic need for electronic prescribing?
The eRx pathway uses clinic and prescriber setup, required professional and healthcare identifiers, and complete patient information. A demo can review your prescribing model and the connection requirements that apply to your team.
How do pathology review and patient release differ?
Receiving a result, reviewing and linking it, releasing it to the patient portal and triggering a notification are distinct actions. The request retains its tests and completion context, while the practitioner controls review and release.
Which Medicare workflow fits our services?
DappleOS supports applicable private and bulk-bill claiming pathways. The right workflow depends on the service, provider setup, eligibility and payment relationship. Bring your current billing process to a demo so the team can demonstrate the relevant path.
Can access vary across our team?
Yes. Clinical notes, pathology, prescribing and other patient information use role-based permission controls. The patient-home layout can be configured around the work and information a team member needs. Your clinic remains responsible for assigning suitable access.
Can we prepare patient letters without a separate document workflow?
Yes. Use reusable templates and supported patient details to prepare a letter, then review its wording and professional recipient. Authorised staff can finalise it, generate a PDF and send it by email. Letters availability and permissions apply, and sending history does not confirm receipt.
How can we keep duplicate patient records organised?
Authorised staff can review the source and destination profiles and select supported record types to consolidate. The merge summary helps the team check what will move, and the action has a recorded user and event. The scope depends on the records selected; it should not be treated as an automatic or universally reversible process.
