It has been a busy quarter for Medtech with a number of new releases and updates. We are also currently undertaking a review of processes to enable smoother releases and better communications. Our bi-annual customer survey will be distributed shortly to gather your suggestions and feedback to help us provide you with better products and services.

Evolution is about to go into several beta sites and once released will offer customers the opportunity to upgrade to the latest technology and benefit from new features and integrations. Medtech32 will continue to be supported for the foreseeable future.

ManageMyHealth was involved in a partnership with MedicAlert during the Rugby World Cup enabling emergency services to view medical records of visiting MedicAlert members. Both ManageMyHealth and Clinical Audit Tool e-learning courses are now available through our new e-learning portal – Medtech Master.

Make sure you check out our upcoming user groups and webinars, they’re a great way to hear about new releases, see some product training, learn about new products, and understand upcoming releases.
