One of Auckland’s largest healthcare groups is migrating its practice management software (PMS) to Medtech Global’s new Medtech ‘Evolution’ platform.
Nirvana Group, comprising East Tamaki Healthcare, White Cross, West Auckland Healthcare and Mt Roskill Healthcare, has been using Medtech 32 as its PMS.
Nirvana Group Chairman Dr Kanti Patel said that the multi-clinic group rigorously reviewed Evolution General Practice at both clinical and practice management levels, taking into consideration key criteria such as security, patient safety and ease of use.
“This product is superior to comparisons locally and internationally. We are confident that this product will cater for our future needs and growth and has significant flexibility over MT32 or any other software we have reviewed in our selection process,” he said.
According to Dr Patel, the technology is highly secure and interoperates with other products.
“The product will include browser and mobile solutions, enabling better healthcare for patients beyond the clinic in the future. By investing in our IT infrastructure and transitioning to Evolution, the Group will strengthen its leading role in clinical developments,” he said.
Major landmark
Medtech Global Executive Chairman Vino Ramayah said that Nirvana’s endorsement of ‘Evolution’ is a significant milestone in the company’s history.
“The product is built on the latest Microsoft Technologies with SQL database. It will revolutionise the workflow of GPs, specialists, allied health providers and other health providers, enabling them to deliver better healthcare to patients through increased efficiencies. The system has many artificial intelligence elements added to it through Medtech’s Clinical and Business Intelligence Tool called (CBIT),” he said.
Market Leader
Medtech32 has been the market-leading PMS in New Zealand for more than 30 years and Medtech’s products are also used in UK, US, India and Australia.
Mr Ramayah said that ‘Evolution’ has been developed with inputs from leading clinicians, practice managers and other healthcare professionals and the Company’s Medical Advisory Group.
‘Evolution’ gives both clinicians and practice managers a higher level of visibility of data, enabling enhanced patient care and efficiencies within their practices, he said.
“Evolution is fully integrated with other Medtech products such as ‘Manage My Health’ (Shared Electronic Health Record and Patient Portal) and ‘VitelMed,’ which provides telehealth solutions. These products are already deployed and gaining momentum in several countries,” Mr Ramayah said.
