Fraser Coast Managed Health Network (FCMHN)

Fraser Coast Managed Health Network (FCMHN)

In 2006 the consortia of Widelinx, GP Links Wide Bay and IP Systems put together a successful application to establish the Fraser Coast Managed Health Network.
The network, providing medical grade security, connected general practices, hospitals, specialist practices, senior medical staff homes, radiology, pathology, aged care facilities, pharmacies, and allied health services. The network is a high speed fibre optic service delivering secure communication at speeds that greatly exceeds what is being offered by commercial carriers.

What are the benefits from the Fraser Coast Managed Health Network?
