[ GOVERNANCE ]
Built around clinical governance and data security.
Health data deserves the highest standard of care. Phycera was built inside the public system’s governance from day one, not bolted on at the end.
[ 01 / THE PATHWAY ]
Five years of governance. Built to be trusted.
Each step was reviewed inside the public health system, from security assessment to ethics approval and technical design review.
2021
Security impact assessment begins. Information asset classification completed.
2022
Independent cybersecurity review. EMR integration approved by Digital Health SA. Clinical Governance Committee established. CCIS goes live in two ICUs.
2023
Human research ethics approval granted.
2026
Endorsed by Digital Health SA’s Technical Design Review Committee. Implementation report published.
[ 02 / PRINCIPLES ]
Four things we hold to.
Governance isn’t a stage we pass through. It shapes how Phycera is built, hosted and run.
01
Data stays home
All patient data remains within the health service’s secure network. None of it is held by or transferred to any outside company.
02
Read-only by design
Phycera reads from the electronic medical record and never writes back to it, so the source system is never changed.
03
Developed in partnership
Developed with CALHN and AusHealth, a self-funded medical research charity that reinvests in health innovation.
04
Independent oversight
A Clinical Governance Committee, including a consumer representative, has met every quarter since May 2022.
[ 03 / SECURITY AND PRIVACY ]
Built so a health service keeps control.
The platform is designed around the health service’s own security, privacy and review processes.
Access
Phycera reads from the EMR and never writes back to it.
Data location
Patient data stays inside the health service’s own secure network.
Oversight
A Clinical Governance Committee has met every quarter since May 2022.
[ 04 / RESPONSIBLE AI ]
Clinicians stay in charge.
Phycera gives clinicians superpowers, not autopilot.
Our applications clear the noise so people can see what matters sooner. The decisions stay with the clinicians, coders and operators who understand the patient and the context. CCIS presents the record and clinicians act on it. CODEXA suggests codes and coders decide.
[ 05 / RESEARCH AND EVALUATION ]
Published, so it can be checked.
Phycera’s implementation at CALHN has been evaluated and written up in a peer-reviewed report, alongside human research ethics approval granted in 2023.
