Miya is designed to shorten the time from referral to booking, keep waiting lists validated and prioritised as they change, give earlier sight of bed and theatre capacity and reduce duplicate data entry.

Alcidion group managing director and chief executive, Kate Quirke, said: ‘Hospitals have invested heavily in clinical systems, while the teams managing referrals, waiting lists and bookings have been left working with tools built for another era. Miya Patient Administration gives them an intuitive system that captures information once, reduces manual effort and connects their work seamlessly with the clinical teams they support.'

The new PAS joins Alcidion's solutions for patient flow, emergency care and virtual care on the Miya platform, used in hospitals across Australia, New Zealand and the UK. The platform integrates in real time with other hospital systems and is built on FHIR, the international standard for sharing health information. Hospitals can start with the PAS and add other Miya solutions over time or add it to an existing Miya deployment.
