John and his team were incredibly talented designers and animators and a pleasure to work with. John listened to my ideas, asked questions about what we needed accomplished and made sure to understand my goals before getting to work. I could not be happier with the outcome.

I have worked with John for three years developing and refining an electronic web-page based antibiotic approval system for the general hospital I work for.

Frequently Asked Questions

What cybersecurity credentials do you have?

We hold current ISO 27001 and ISO 27017 cybersecurity certifications and are registered as an approved healthcare cloud service provider in multiple jurisdictions. We also have routine penetration test results available on request via our security trust centre.

Are you available for private contracts?

We do not provide services for developing bespoke applications. However, if there is a genuine need for a feature within the Clinical Branches framework then we would be more than happy to develop a module for your request.

Our institution is hesitant to use cloud based solutions. Can the Clinical Branches platform be hosted internally?

Yes and no, to fully utilise the platform it requires communication between different institutions to share pathways and share ideas. We can certainly place the platform on a private server and have a private database, but we will also need to access the platform content repository which must be shared. We only house data on IRAP / ISO 27001 / SOC 2 compliant servers. Greater details on our data governance and specifications are available on request.

We can support implementation of the platform for remote locations or deployments with intermittent internet connection, however to receive updates and to sync with the main database tablets or laptops would need to reconnect to the cloud periodically.

Can we speak to clients currently using your software solutions?

Yes definitely, we can provide referees, or can provide the names of Health Services currently using our software if you would like to conduct your own independent check.

Alternately, just get in contact with us and try it out for yourself.
