Security & privacy

Patient data, handled the way Australian healthcare law expects

Nexshift for HMR is built around Australian hosting, access isolation and consent, not added afterward.

Australian-hosted Row-level security on every table Built around the Privacy Act 1988 No third-party PDF services

How access is controlled

Every request passes through authentication, application logic and database-level checks. No single layer is relied on alone.

Step 1

Authentication

  • Sign-in via Google or email and password
  • Session managed and verified server-side
Step 2

Application logic

  • Every AI and data request is validated server-side
  • Identity confirmed before any action runs
Step 3

Row-level security

  • Every record is scoped to the pharmacist who created it
  • Cross-organisation access is not possible by design
Step 4

Documents & reports

  • Patient documents stored by reference, not public link
  • HMR and consent PDFs generated in your browser

Row-level security (scoped to organisation)

Privacy & data handling

Designed around the obligations that come with handling Australian patient information.

Australian hosting

Application data is hosted in Australia. Patient information is not stored offshore.

Digital consent records

Patient consent, including method, representative and signature, is captured digitally and stored as a signed PDF record.

Client-side report generation

HMR and consent PDFs are generated in the browser. No patient report content is sent to a third-party PDF service.

Organisation data isolation

Every pharmacist sees only their own patients, referrals and reports. This is enforced at the database level, not just in the app.

Pharmacist stays in control

AI assists with drafting. The pharmacist reviews, edits and signs before anything is sent.

Signature required before completion

A report cannot be marked ready until the pharmacist has added their signature.

Reports lock once sent

Once a report is sent to the GP, the visit and report are locked from further edits automatically.
