In a ground-breaking collaboration, four leading Australian healthcare software vendors have joined forces to establish an Innovation Partnership to deliver on the specific needs of a project for Wandi Nerida set to revolutionize healthcare delivery and patient experience in Australia and beyond.
Australia’s only specialist residential eating disorder recovery centre Wandi Nerida in Queensland has selected the four-vendor group to provide a state-of-the-art Digital Front Door, Patient Administration System, Digital Medical Record, and Referral-based delivery system to enable a best of breed solution. Renowned for its innovative treatment methodologies and evidence-based support services, Wandi Nerida remain steadfast in its dedication to transforming lives and advocating for community needs.
Brian Mayahle, CEO of Wandi Nerida, spoke highly of the decision in selecting the digital health solution in best-in-class care to patient. “Our decision to select these four vendors for our healthcare administration and clinical needs to be paperless stems from their proven track record of innovation, reliability, cost-effectiveness, and alignment with our organisation's goals and values."
By leveraging the collective strengths of each member, the consortium will provide Wandi Nerida with a comprehensive software solution that streamlines operations, enhances communication, and optimises patient outcomes, thereby establishing a new benchmark for healthcare technology.
This unprecedented collaboration combines the expertise, innovation, and resources of:
Vitro Software will provide the Digital Medical Record (DMR), Vitro, which can be tailored to meet each hospital’s own specific needs including its unique workflows delivering optimal patient care. Vitro's commitment to clinician-driven design ensures a rapid transition to digital workflows, enhancing patient care and operational efficiency. Included in the DMR is the ADHA Discharge Summary with upload to MyHR facilitating the sharing of patient information between health professionals.
Personify Care’s digital health platform provides health services with a Digital Front Door and Digital Patient Pathway solution. The easy-to-use platform enables health services to convert their patient journey and pre-clinical and admin workflows into a seamless digital solution designed to reduce the administrative burden on the workforce and enhance the patient experience. Patients are provided with a mobile / online checklist of items they need action or review prior to their admission and on discharge.
Altura Health’s cloud-based Patient Administration System FYDO will be implemented to streamline business processes, automate workflows, and minimise paperwork. FYDO has been designed over the last 15 years in collaboration with hospitals and now supports and powers over 175 hospitals across Australia.
Consultmed’s customisable e-referral product which has Smart-on-FHIR integration with practice management software, and a secure web-portal for healthcare providers and patients, will allow Wandi Nerida to prioritise referrals based on urgency and access criteria, whilst customising tiers and automating workflows for clinical and admin users.
Simon Harland, APAC Director of Sales for Vitro Software, and collaboration lead says, “This collaboration is a pioneering approach to healthcare technology, it unites four best of breed industry leaders to deliver unparalleled solutions and is the first of its kind. I can speak for the entire collaborative in saying we are all excited to be providing Wandi Nerida, a truly best-in-class hospital, with a complete digital solution”.
Personify Care’s CEO Ken Saman explains "By working together, we are not only sharing our expertise but also demonstrating our collective commitment to advancing healthcare for Wandi Nerida and beyond. Australian health providers have long called for fully interoperable solutions and an end to data silos. We’ve collectively listened to the needs of the sector, and this marks a significant milestone in being able to access best of breed solutions that talk to each other”.
This consortium signifies a transformative step forward in Australian healthcare, demonstrating a shared commitment to collaboration, innovation, and excellence, ultimately benefiting patients, clinicians, and hospitals nationwide. The group understands the pressures and demanding business environment in which hospitals in Australia work, and these hospitals can now benefit from this innovative collaboration as a viable alternative to high-cost solutions. The group collectively has significant experience in providing clinically led solutions that have been developed over the years within Australian healthcare settings.
Michelle Romero, CEO of Altura Health says “Our team at Altura Health is thrilled to embark on collaborative endeavours with these outstanding companies and products. Historically, the healthcare sector has faced challenges in fostering effective partnerships. However, at Altura Health, we are committed to breaking this trend by prioritising the needs and interests of our clients”.
