Healthcare financial managers have been schooled to value software as a major acquisition to deliver a desired return on fully allocated costs. While understandable, it’s an approach that tends to downplay the needs and voice of the clinicians. Despite new generation software having made huge leaps in enablement, integration and reliability, this cost-only focus is still entrenched in hospitals and private practices. It’s a purchasing blueprint that still locks clinicians into using older-generation clinical software. 

The fundamental problems with cost-driven pricing in a clinical environment derive from assumptions that are made about volumes and value, not clinicians’ frontline reality. The software purchased may help solve old inefficiencies, but it doesn’t transform the clinician’s experience and liberate significant valuable time, nor will it help clinicians transition smoothly into new innovations that are currently in the digital-health pipeline.

New generation software now makes usage-based pricing possible. Private practices and hospital departments now pay only for what they actually use based on a patient referral basis - nothing else. There is no upfront licencing, no set up charges and all training and support is included in the low per-referral cost. The same smart software is being increasingly used in both hospitals and private practices no matter the size of the organisation.

Clinicians can deploy usage-based Gynaecology Plus very quickly. For example, it is possible to be using Gynaecology Plus and seeing measurable time and cost savings within a few weeks.

Gynaecology Plus is easy to adopt - one gynaecology specialty at a time. Beginning with the area of greatest need, perhaps colposcopy, gynae-oncology or early pregnancy can be used initially, then other specialties added as the transformational benefits from the ‘pilot’ modules are realised. 

1. No upfront costs. No request to the finance department required. Minimal training required and It’s free. Gynaecologists and their support staff start using, fully supported from day one. No extras and no surprises.

2. Cost is determined by usage only – per referral so the software will always be affordable no matter what size the department or practice.

3. Proven reliability and continuity. Over two decades of continued use in Australasian hospitals and every New Zealand hospital.  

4. Fully integrated with all EMR and PAS hospital systems. Gynaecology Plus is the only specialist gynaecology platform to integrate with both the Australian and New Zealand Cervical Screening Registers.

5. Gynaecology Plus is continually being optimized. Its relevance and value improve with on-going feedback flowing continuously from leading Australasian gynaecologists. A frequently released product roadmap ensures clinicians are always using the latest functionality. 

6. Ensures that the adoption of future digital health initiatives is an easy step. 

7. Verified savings in time and energy. The software continues to pay for itself many times over.
