Digital Documentation Assistance (Heidi Health)

Our clinic uses a secure digital scribe system (Heidi Health) to assist with documenting consultations. This tool allows your clinician to focus on your care while accurately capturing clinical information.

Purpose

Heidi Health is used solely to create accurate and complete medical records. It supports your clinician but does not replace professional judgment; all medical decisions are made by your clinician.

How Your Data is Handled

Data is processed and stored in Australia in accordance with Australian privacy laws and the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
No audio recordings are stored. Conversations are transcribed in real time, and only the clinician-reviewed transcript is retained temporarily for inclusion in your medical record.
Your data is securely encrypted, access is strictly limited to your clinician, and regular audits are conducted to maintain compliance with global standards (SOC 2, ISO 27001).
Data is not used for secondary purposes, and identifiers are removed for any de-identified use.

Your Rights

You can choose to opt-out of using Heidi Health - just let our office know or advise Dr Tomlinson at the start of your consultation.
Withdrawing consent will not affect the quality of care you receive.
You have the right to access the information collected about you, except where access may be lawfully restricted.

More information about Heidi Health can be found at heidihealth.com.

Digital Documentation Assistance Consent(Required)

I confirm that I have read and understood the Digital Documentation Assistance (Heidi Health) information. I understand that Dr Tomlinson uses Heidi Health to assist with documentation of consultations. I acknowledge that I may opt out of the use of Heidi Health by informing Dr Tomlinson or her staff at any time, without affecting my care.

Clinical Photography

Clinical photographs may be taken as part of your care to assist with assessment, treatment planning, monitoring progress, and evaluating outcomes.

Photographs may also be used to communicate with other health professionals involved in your care, and in de-identified form for education or research.

All images are handled in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Health Records Act 2001 (Vic). You may place restrictions on the use of your photographs.

Photography Acknowledgement(Required)

I confirm that I have read and understood the Clinical Photography information and consent to the taking and use of my clinical photographs, subject to any restrictions I specify below.

You may place restrictions on how your clinical photographs are used. If you choose to opt out of certain uses, you acknowledge that:

You have read and understood the information above regarding clinical photography.
You have received an explanation of why clinical photographs may be taken.
This practice has a privacy policy governing the handling of clinical images.
You are not obliged to consent to clinical photography; however, in some circumstances this may limit the assessment, treatment, or documentation that can be provided.
You have the right to access your information, except where access may be lawfully restricted, in which case an explanation will be provided.
Your photographs will not be used for purposes outside those described without your consent.

What happens next?

Once you submit this form, Dr Jill Tomlinson will carefully review the information you have provided to assess your condition and suitability for treatment.

Our administrative team will then send you a personalised fee estimate for your proposed care. This will typically include the cost of your procedure and standard follow-up.

After receiving your fee estimate, you can decide whether you would like to proceed with a telehealth consultation. This appointment allows Dr Tomlinson to confirm the treatment plan, answer your questions, and ensure appropriate planning before any procedure.

In some cases, if the information provided is incomplete or does not allow a clear procedure recommendation, you may instead be advised to attend a standard consultation rather than proceeding via the “See and Treat” service.

There is no obligation to proceed at any stage. If you choose to continue, our team will assist you in arranging suitable appointment times.
