Auckland's MercyAscot private hospital group is now live with its new patient administration system from InterSystems, having gone ahead with the implementation in mid-May at the height of New Zealand's COVID-19 lockdown.

It is now looking forward to rolling out clinical functionality with the TrakCare electronic medical record at the end of next year, when it will be the first healthcare organisation in New Zealand to fully host its integrated PAS and EMR on Microsoft's Azure Stack hybrid cloud computing platform.
