May Wrap Up - Important Updates You Don’t Want to Miss
We are excited to share a number of product updates and initiatives with you, as well as Coviu's most recent security certification, our takeaways from the Federal Budget announcement and updates from some recent industry events and team collaboration.
Federal Budget a Saviour, not a Vision
The 23/24 Budget is showing a promising first step towards changing the foundations of our healthcare system to something more sustainable, including new bulk billing incentives of $3.5b + more. Whilst the new incentives are a massive effort in making sure our existing healthcare system continues to work under the strains of an ageing population, a mental health pandemic and increasing chronic illnesses, there are very few movements towards a digitally enabled modern healthcare system.
Read on and see what Dr Silvia Pfeiffer, CEO of Coviu has to say.

Personal Wellbeing Index - Adult (PWI-A) Form
This App enables you to administer the Personal Wellbeing Index for Adults (PWI-A) within your Coviu call. Clinicians can view the clients answers in real-time as each question field is completed. The PWI-A scale contains nine items of satisfaction, each one corresponding to a quality of life domain to measure a person’s subjective well-being.
Pre-Call Test Link now Accessible via the Dashboard
Need to check that your audio, camera and network connection are equipped for your upcoming consultation? Now, you can access the link to the pre-call test from your Coviu Dashboard.
Ability to Flip Your Local Video Feed
Now, you are able to hover over your video feed in a call and select the flip video button which will allow you to flip your video feed horizontally. This will flip your video feed for your view only and allows you to see what the other person on the call can see. This is particularly beneficial if you would like to show or describe something on screen that may be difficult to do when your video is not flipped.
Coming Soon
Pre-Session Forms
Not long to go until the Customisable Forms App supports the ability for clinicians to send their clients/patients forms prior to their session. This will allow clients/patients to complete forms days or even weeks before their scheduled consultation!
This feature will only be available if you have both the Scheduled Sessions App and Customisable Forms App installed.
