MEDITECH Asia Pacific's Managing Director Douglas Murray sat down for a podcast interview with Talking HealthTech CEO & Founder Peter Birch during the recent Health Innovation Community conference (HIC 2024) to discuss MEDITECH's evolution, current solutions, and the company's contributions to advancing digital health initiatives in the Asia Pacific region.
Murray highlighted MEDITECH Expanse and the company’s cloud-hosted MEDITECH as a Service (MaaS) model, designed to make MEDITECH’s powerful healthcare solutions more accessible to organisations by offering flexibility and reducing upfront costs. By transitioning to a subscription-based model, healthcare providers can adopt cutting-edge digital health tools more seamlessly, improving both operational efficiency and patient outcomes.
He also discussed the innovative use of AI in hospitals, particularly how these tools are helping to reduce the cognitive burdens on healthcare professionals. Murray highlighted the practical ways in which AI is being integrated to assist with decision-making, documentation, and patient monitoring, allowing clinicians to focus more on patient care. This shift toward intelligent systems is transforming the way healthcare is delivered and it is crucial for addressing burnout and improving efficiency in busy healthcare environments.
Looking ahead, Murray shared MEDITECH’s priorities for Australia and the wider Asia-Pacific region, including continuing to invest in digital transformation efforts, expanding the use of AI and data-driven solutions, and furthering MEDITECH’s commitment to supporting healthcare organisations with scalable, innovative technologies that meet the evolving needs of the sector. “By staying at the forefront of healthcare technology, MEDITECH aims to drive the future of care in the region.” he said.
