What this list deliberately does not include

These are not oversights. They are scope decisions. Doing the core well matters more than doing more.

  • Clinical decision support. CareFile holds information; it does not tell you or your clinicians what to do with it.
  • Direct messaging with providers. Use your provider's existing channels.
  • Appointment booking. Use your provider's booking system or Healthdirect.
  • Insurance and claims processing. That is a different category of tool.
  • Aged care plan management. Aged care has its own systems, and CareFile does not duplicate them.

How to verify what is built

If you are evaluating CareFile for procurement, organisational use, or as a coordinator recommending tools to participants, contact us and we can walk through the current early access build.
