Primary gears up for digital investment despite huge write-down

Primary Health Care is gearing up for the roll out of MedicalDirector's Helix cloud-based practice management system to its medical centres later in the year, along with the new Visage radiology information system from Pro Medicus that it plans to roll out to Healthcare Imaging Services, the company's diagnostic imaging division.

Primary also plans to upgrade its pathology laboratory information system and its underlying infrastructure, and to begin the development of mobile applications and portals for its new Health & Co mixed billing medical centres business.
