Smarter Health Records. Better Patient Outcomes.

Empowering connected, patient-first care through secure, intelligent Electronic Health Record (EHR) solutions.

Our Vision

OutcomesIT provides patient-centric electronic health records (EHRs) that support quality care, research, and education. Our EHRs make health data usable and secure, balancing patient privacy with appropriate, accountable data sharing among healthcare providers and within multidisciplinary team environments.

Our Mission

Our mission is to improve the delivery, coordination, and quality of care through advanced health information technology and secure electronic health record (EHR) exchange. EHRs enable efficient provider collaboration, complete patient information at the point of care, and better shared decision-making. By reducing errors, avoiding duplicate tests, and improving management of acute and chronic conditions, we help put patients first-every step of the way whilst growing your practice in any enviroment.

EHR Adoption: What’s Holding You Back?

Switching to an Electronic Health Record (EHR) system can be challenging, especially when long-standing habits are in place. While the benefits of digital record keeping are clear, it’s common to feel hesitant about change. Today’s EHR solutions make the transition easier than ever, helping streamline workflows and improve care.

Dr Duncan Laurenson

Founder and Managing Director

MBChB. (UCT) Postgraduate Diploma Addiction Care(UCT)

Duncan has 20 years’ experience in addiction medicine. He works at a number of prominent Cape Town addiction clinics as well working with patients at an opiate substitution clinic at TBHIV, an NGO service organisation for NACOSA in Cape Town and Mbombela.

Duncan’s initial foray into medical software development was driven by the failure of the incumbent system to focus on treatment outcomes and continuing care. The need to measure treatment response and track patient outcomes in the addiction field has been highlighted in recent years. He started Recovery Outcomes, which used the first version of OutcomesIT software. It incorporates standardised assessment and outcomes measures, into a continuing care program, which provides monitoring and support to patients with substance use disorders.

While on this path, he met Dr Eugene Allers who was on a similar conceptual path with other mental health disorders, and required a multidisciplinary platform to implement the same vision. Subsequently, Dr. Laurenson has been approached by several specialists in varying fields of healthcare which has led to the development of a front-end electronic health record (EHR), with a scalable cloud-based database for use by doctors, nurses, psychologists, therapists, administrative staff and pharmacists within private practice and clinics or the NPO environment including add on modules for ICU, scripting, emergency and e-scripting.
