The Secure Transfer Service (STS) AddressBook contains healthcare listings, practitioners and provider information. Metro South Health uses this GP address book to determine where to send important clinical information such as discharge summaries and clinical letters to GPs. It is important to keep your details up-to-date to ensure correspondence is received.

Benefits for your GPs and practice include:

• Ability to receive important clinical information electronically, improving communication of discharge, outpatient letters and pathology results
• Secure transfer of referrals
• Supports GP registration to The Health Provider Portal.

It is important to update the STS AddressBook every time there is a change to staff members or provider information at the clinic. It may be helpful to save an electronic copy for future reference.
