MedicalDirector Integration

As a trusted partner to health-tech vendors, general practices and integrated care networks, 6B provides full-lifecycle integration with MedicalDirector—covering discovery, design, development, deployment and ongoing support. Whether you’re building patient portals, e-prescribing modules, referral automation, documentation tools or analytics exports, our integrations are designed to be robust, scalable, and aligned with industry standards.

With extensive experience across Australian primary care and specialist environments, our team understands how to align your solution with MedicalDirector’s architecture, API/extension pathways and clinical workflows—ensuring your solution works smoothly, securely and sustainably.

Understanding MedicalDirector Integration

MedicalDirector offers a suite of clinical and practice-management software solutions tailored for Australian healthcare professionals. The platforms support charting, scheduling, e-prescribing, referral/document exchange, patient engagement, and connectivity to national services. From on-premises to cloud-enabled deployments, MedicalDirector provides rich workflow capabilities for practices.

Its integration ecosystem enables external applications and services to connect via partner modules, extension toolbars (e.g., Smartbar), RESTful and API-based interfaces (for example the “Smart API+” gateway), and custom-form or toolbar widget extensions. These pathways enable healthtech tools to embed into the clinician’s workflow, trigger events, exchange structured data and participate in larger care-networks.

Because MedicalDirector supports integration with national services (such as HealthLink SmartForms for e-referrals, pathology and imaging results) and accessible APIs for add-ons, your integration can build on a trusted, field-tested platform that serves thousands of clinics and networks across Australia.

Our MedicalDirector Integration Process

At 6B we begin with a discovery and planning phase, collaborating with your team to define core use-cases—such as e-prescribing workflows, appointment/scheduling sync, patient-portal feeds, mobile clinical documentation or analytics export. In this phase, we identify the relevant MedicalDirector platform (Clinical, Helix, etc.), the APIs or partner module extension points (e.g., Smart API+), and map those to your technical and clinical requirements.

Next, we undertake architecture and design, creating a secure and scalable integration framework aligned with MedicalDirector’s environment. Key elements include authentication modelling (e.g., OAuth, token flows), data mapping and transformation, event triggers or message routing, user-context definition, error-handling and audit-logging. We design with real-world performance, security, and governance in mind.

During development and testing, we leverage our library of reusable integration components—API connectors, data-mappers, authentication modules and message routers—to accelerate development while maintaining consistency and quality. We conduct rigorous sandbox or staging testing to validate data integrity, performance, error-handling, and audit traceability.

For deployment and go-live, we manage registration/configuration with MedicalDirector’s partner framework, coordinate credentialing, user-acceptance testing, production rollout coordination and monitoring of live performance. Post-go-live we provide ongoing support and maintenance, tracking platform updates, API version changes, security patches, performance metrics and ensuring your integration remains stable, compliant and future-ready.

Benefits of MedicalDirector Integration

Clinicians gain direct access to your solution’s capabilities within the familiar MedicalDirector workflow environment—reducing duplication, context-switching and manual entry whilst improving decision-making and patient safety.

Patients benefit from better connected care—via integrated portals, seamless transitions between services, digital referrals, e-prescriptions and mobile engagement tools that link back into the EMR record.

For healthcare practices and networks, integration streamlines data flows, lowers administrative burden, improves data quality and aligns operations with national digital-health and interoperability goals.

For health-tech vendors your product becomes embedded in a large, trusted primary-care ecosystem—accelerating uptake, supporting scalability through standards-aligned architecture and opening doors to wide market access.
