With demand for mental health care services in Australia at an all-time high, providers face the challenge of delivering exceptional client care while maximising their efficiency and productivity.
At MasterCare, our client management system is built on a solid understanding of the Australian mental healthcare ecosystem and the needs of those working within it. That’s why we can offer a comprehensive client management system tailored to the unique needs of each provider, with advanced features designed to enhance clinical outcomes, streamline workflows, and boost client engagement.
Better Clinical Outcomes with Built-in Measures
For mental health professionals, tracking client progress over time is key to delivering evidence-based and effective care.
With MasterCare’s built-in outcome measures, providers can capture, track, and analyse clinical outcomes directly within the system. Providers also have the option to use their own customised assessments, providing flexibility to suit the different needs of specific services.
With outcome data in one convenient place, you have real-time insights into client progress, facilitating personalised treatment planning and data-driven decision making.
Simplified Clinical Documentation and Digital Assessments
Administrative tasks, particularly manual paperwork, can be a significant burden for mental health providers, often detracting from the time available for client care. Research has suggested that healthcare professionals not only perceive administrative tasks as less meaningful work, but that excessive administrative burden is a key contributor to burnout.
While burnout rates have purportedly fallen since the pandemic, recent research found 79% of Australian psychiatrists say they feel “exhausted and drained all the time.” Many cited system inefficiencies, unnecessary administration and paperwork as key drivers of burnout.
MasterCare streamlines clinical documentation and digital assessments, reducing the administrative load and allowing providers to focus more on their clients.
The platform offers:
- Automated templates for clinical notes and assessments
- Digital smart forms that eliminate manual data entry, helping to reduce errors
- Integrated workflows to improve efficiency and interoperability.
The Australian Digital Health Agency’s Corporate Plan 2024–2025 stresses the importance of improving business processes and workflows to reduce administrative burden and duplication of effort. By implementing MasterCare, mental health providers can enhance operational efficiency and devote more resources to direct client care.
Client Engagement and Accessibility Made Easy
Engagement and accessibility play a crucial role in helping clients participate actively in their mental health care – and active participation is known to be a key ingredient of a successful outcome.
MasterCare facilitates engagement and accessibility through its integration with HotHealth, a system designed specifically to enhance client engagement. This bundled solution, known as the Client Engagement Tool or Digital Front Door, offers features such as:
- Online bookings – clients can easily book and manage their appointments, giving them more control and helping to reduce no-show rates.
- Smart forms – digital forms allow clients to complete intake information before their appointments, saving valuable time.
- Integrated telehealth – secure video consultations support flexible, remote care options.
By adopting MasterCare and HotHealth, mental health practices can meet client expectations and deliver flexible, client-centred care to people who may otherwise be unable to access it.
