Whilst it may be difficult to ensure that safe sexual behaviour is practised, it is rewardingly more practical to focus efforts on improving the efficiency of the sexual health service, to ensure that patients receive timely and optimal treatment.

Cellma, Riomed’s complete health information system has proven over time to contribute to safe, efficient and high quality service. It is fully integrated, including patients personal lifestyle details and partner information. Facilitating patient communicaton, notifying patients partners after testing is possible, by utilising the information put into the system. This would aid in reducing the increasing amount of persons contracting STIs unknowingly from their partners. Patients who have a high risk of re-infection can be flagged for closer monitoring and follow up, again improving quality of service. Time is saved on the identification and analysis of at risk groups, with the use of Cellma’s reporting functionality. More energy can therefore be focused on treatment of patients.
