At Medtech we are focussed on “Healthier Care”.
Designing health technology that connects securely and
seamlessly with the latest digital applications and services
to reduce practice admin, cut general medical practice costs
and ultimately – improve patient care.
Designing
health technology is not just about building robust
software, like our Medtech Evolution patient management
system, it’s also about how the technology is delivered
and maintained. Cloud is designed for security and
interoperability and with the Medtech Evolution Cloud
practices join a primary care ecosystem offering a choice of
the latest digital applications and services optimised for
the secure, seamless delivery of patient
care.
“Recent events have highlighted
that it can be almost impossible for medical practices to
provide continuity of care to their communities in the face
of natural disasters and system failures. We want to help
our practices into a secure, high-quality
environment”.
Geoffrey
Sayer, CEO and MD of Medtech

Reducing Data Risk
In the
last three years cyberattacks on New Zealand health
providers have been responsible for exposing the data of
over a million patients and healthcare staff. Ransomware
attacks have crippled health providers and in one case,
patient care was brought to a standstill in an incident
described as “catastrophic for patient
safety”.
Even with dedicated IT resource and
expertise, these large health organisations have fallen
victim to attacks and struggled to recover. Recovery would
be a far greater challenge for a general
practice.
This year Cyclone Gabrielle has caused
physical destruction and damage on a scale not seen in a
generation. Bringing trauma, tragedy and loss to communities
and entire towns. For those practices able to continue
providing patient care, it has been a challenge – and will
be for some time to come.
Whilst last year’s
cyberattack on a PHO was described as a “wake up call to
the sector”, Cyclone Gabriel serves as reminder that
patient data can also be at physical as well as digital
risk.
Cloud Technology for Health
Cloud
technology provides a world-class standard for health data
security, reducing the risk of cyberattacks and data
breaches. Cloud environments are not device or location
dependant so even if your buildings and equipment are
damaged or lost, your applications and data are secure and
accessible from anywhere so your practice can continue to
operate. The Medtech Evolution Cloud is hosted in New
Zealand, so you have the added security of knowing your data
will not leave the country.
Cloud services are also
cost effective. With fixed monthly subscriptions, your
practice is always using up-to-date technology, can quickly
reduce or increase IT capacity without investing in
equipment, or dealing with supply chain issues or waiting
for installations.
Your practice can also save on
downtime, we will apply Medtech software updates and
releases for you. Should your practice grow, merge or
change, with Medtech you own your data and can take it with
you.
The Medtech Evolution PMS
Medtech
Evolution 6.2 was released in February 2023 and offers
enhanced functionality, performance, and stability along
with a host of integrated features and benefits.
6.2
has been rigorously tested, thanks to participation from our
greatest cohort of partner beta sites to date. Over 20 core
application features have been improved or added in response
to customer improvement suggestions. The financial and
accounting modules and workflows have been redesigned to
support accepted accounting practices so your practice can
track your bottom line and reliably audit your
finances.
Supporting the Move Medtech Evolution
Cloud
“Data security is at the top of
the Medtech priority list. Cyber-attacks and data breaches
are becoming more sophisticated and sustained and the scale
of recent natural disasters are unprecedented. Whilst these
events cannot be avoided, we have the technology and
processes to greatly limit the impact and support
continuation of care. For the month of March we’re
offering all of our practices a helping hand onto Medtech
Evolution Cloud”
Geoffrey
