Configuring electronic results delivery

In this article:

Gentu is integrated with a series of pathology and radiology companies. This means that you can receive pathology and radiology results/reports directly to Gentu. 

The integration provides you with an extensive range of benefits, such as:
  • The secure delivery of pathology and radiology results into Gentu, connecting you with the information you need immediately. 
  • No additional software or configuration is required, reducing set up complexity and getting you started as soon as possible.

Which companies you can integrate with depend upon which state you are practicing in. Please see the list of integrations below.

 

Healius (Primary Healthcare)

Gentu is fully integrated with Healius, formerly known as Primary Healthcare. You do not need to enter any details or configuration settings into Gentu in order to receive laboratory results from Healius labs. 

You can register for Healius by filling out and sending an application form to the laboratory (or laboratories) that you wish to receive results from. This is the only step you will need to complete.

Other Providers
 
If the provider of your choice is not listed above, you may still be able to receive diagnostic results directly into Gentu.
 
Many providers are able to transmit results directly to Gentu via 3rd party messaging services. At present Gentu is integrated with Healthlink, Argus, and Medical Objects. 
 
In order to receive diagnostic results, please contact your pathology provider(s) and enquire about their ability to transmit via Healthlink, Argus, or Medical Objects.
 
Not all providers will be able to send information via these 3rd party carriers, and this may vary from location to location, so you should speak to your local provider before proceeding. 
 

Healthlink

If you are able to take advantage of this service, you will need to apply for an Healthlink identifier (EDI) if you do not have one already. Please complete the form at the bottom of this article (Gentu Application Form.pdf) and send this directly to Healthlink.
 
Once they have provided you with an EDI, please enter this into Gentu via Settings > Practice Details under the 'Healthlink Identifier' heading. 
 
Once you have done this, let your provider know your EDI and they can start to send you correspondence. Gentu will automatically identify diagnostic results and move them in the Diagnostic Results tab of the Results/Letters module in Gentu.

 

Argus

If the provider is able to transmit via Argus, you will need to apply for an Argus account if you do not have one already. Once you have an Argus account, enter your details into Gentu via Settings > Practice Details > Argus 'Edit Credentials'.

https://www.telstrahealth.com/content/dam/telstra-health/resources/Subscribing%20to%20the%20Argus%20network%20with%20Gentu.pdf

For more information on signing up for Argus, please see our announcement regarding Argus in Gentu.

Medical Objects


Medical Objects is fully integrated with Gentu. You can sign up for Medical Objects via their website.

Medical Objects will provide the Gentu Support team with the details necessary to configure your account. The Gentu Support team will then configure your account for you in the background and advise you when this is complete.

  • If you attempt to send an electronic letter via Medical Objects before your practice is configured, you will see the following error:


  • When you send or receive a letter via Medical Objects, you will also have access to the Medical Objects delivery report. The Medical Objects delivery report is a web portal provided by Medical Objects to assist Medical Objects with troubleshooting their service.

  • If you have any questions about viewing or using the Medical Objects delivery report, please contact Medical Objects directly.

Please note: Gentu Support does not have access to the Medical Objects delivery report.

 

Switching to Gentu from another software

If you switch to Gentu from another software, you may already use some of the third party services outlined above.

Please consider the following:

  • Usually the laboratory or carrier service uses your Medicare Minor Location ID to identify your practice for delivering letters & results. When you switch to Gentu another software, your Location ID will change.

  • We recommend that you contact each of the laboratories or services that you have already registered for, and ensure that your registration details are up to date, including your Gentu Location ID.

  • Some carrier services will install their downloading software on your computer or network to facilitate downloading results. You should ensure that any software is removed from your computer or network when you switch to Gentu, as it can prevent your Gentu from receiving results successfully.

  • Please contact the support team for each laboratory or service directly for assistance with the above.
