didgUgo Adopts InterSystems IRIS for Health for Care Visit Verification Solution

SECTOR UPDATE - InterSystems

InterSystems, a creative data technology provider dedicated to helping customers solve the most critical scalability, interoperability and speed problems, today announced that didgUgo, an innovative Australian care industry software start-up, has signed a Solutions Partner agreement with InterSystems to add interoperability, FHIR and AI functionality to its next-generation care visit verification solution – facilitating data integration with care providers and boosting their return on investment – and accelerate didgUgo’s growth plans.

Designed for healthcare, aged care, and disability service providers, didgUgo is an innovative software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution that enables subcontractors to scan an on-site QR code to check in and out of jobs. Providers get confirmation via the didgUgo SaaS application and APIs, simplifying and streamlining their business processes and improving compliance. To avoid data privacy issues, didgUgo retains the smallest possible data footprint, with no need to store subcontractor or client and patient private data.

By adopting the InterSystems IRIS for Health™ data platform, didgUgo can enhance the functionality and value it offers to providers. IRIS for Health enables didgUgo to provide interoperability with information systems used by care providers quickly and cost-effectively and utilise healthcare data standards such as HL7® FHIR®. This will support enhanced functionality such as two-way communication with subcontractors or using AI and Machine Learning for fraud prevention.

“For many home services, Australian care providers don’t have any visibility into jobs until they receive the invoice, weeks later,” said Luke Benson, Chief Technology Officer and Managing Director at didgUgo. “We can fill that gap by providing real-time visit verification data. With our Solutions Partner agreement with InterSystems, didgUgo is primed to be interoperable and exchange data with provider systems in real time. By integrating a rostering or work order system, you could follow up with subcontractors and say, ‘Did you forget to check in?’.”

“InterSystems works with care industry software start-ups to meet one of their most pressing challenges – the need for interoperability to integrate with providers’ information systems and deliver value quickly,” said Darren Jones, Country Manager, Australia and New Zealand for InterSystems. “We are delighted to help future-proof didgUgo by adopting IRIS for Health to overcome interoperability and systems integration hurdles to customer adoption, enhance their solutions and accelerate their growth.”
