The RACGP says it is entering a three-year marketing deal with an overseas company wanting to sell practice software to GPs.

The move is likely to reignite concerns over the college’s role in setting e-health standards while financially benefiting through commercial arrangements with software vendors.

In a message to its members posted on the closed section of its website last month, the college said it had entered a three-year marketing agreement to promote GP software called Hello Health.

So far, two contracts with Hello Health’s overseas owners Myca and the college’s commercial arm RACGP Oxygen have been signed off by the college’s board.
