HATRIX Wins Aged Care ‘ICT Company of the Year’ 2008
The annual awards recognising ICT excellence in Aged Care recognised Canberra based company HATRIX as Aged Care ICT Company of the Year.
John Ainge, managing director of HATRIX, accepted the award on behalf of the company, and dedicated it to his staff in Canberra, and to those at Terrace Gardens Nursing Home in Darwin, who were also nominated for ‘best implementation’.
He said the award demonstrated that the market was now ready for solutions like MedChart.
Over half a billion medications are administered every year in Aged Care facilities across Australia.
“There had to be a better way of ordering, reviewing and recording medication administration, than by paper or fax, and MedChart is the answer”, Dr Ainge said.
What gave MedChart the edge over other applications in this market is its ability to remotely link all three carer groups – doctors, pharmacists and nurses – with one shared electronic medication chart.
