Medtech launched its CarePath Long Term Condition Management software at the CME conference in Rotorua in June.

CarePath provides a safe pathway to comprehensive, practice based, Long Term Condition Management through validated disease registries. It has been designed from the ground up by New Zealand clinicians and healthcare technology specialists, and embodies international experience whilst providing for clinical requirements that are unique to New Zealand. CarePath has been refined by multiple years of in-practice use and is clinically proven and demonstrably effective.

CarePath provides easy to use population health management for: Diabetes, Ischaemic Heart Disease, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Transient Ischaemic Attacks, Hypertension, Glucose Intolerance and Hyperlipidaemia. CarePath is a packaged solution for achieving outcomes across entire management cohorts, and is well supported by research as a practical and pragmatic method for achieving good results in your practice.

CarePath derives patient information from (and writes back to) the Practice Management System (PMS). Recalls are managed within the familiar environment of existing PMS systems which means greater ease of use and significant time savings for medical staff at all levels.

Other features include:

• One click deployment
• Plug-in integration
• Simplicity and elegance
• Demonstrable results
