Pen CS Pty Ltd (PEN CS) have developed Topbar as an adjunct to the GP Clinical Desktop System to deliver useful tools and decision support information for the primary care sector at the point of care.
Topbar is designed to provide prompts and relevant information to all clinic staff based on the patients being seen and also those who are on the waiting list for the day.
