NZ hospitals deploy Provation's iPro anaesthesia solution

The Waikato and Thames hospitals of Te Whatu Ora – Health New Zealand have deployed Provation’s iPro anaesthesia solution, with a cloud-based Perioperative Clinical Information Management Solution (PCIMS).

The solution, hosted on Microsoft Azure, is used by clinicians in order to produce complete, compliant and legible anaesthesia records.

Altera Digital Health delivered the Provation iPro Anaesthesia Information Management System (AIMS), which included Provation iPro Pre-Admission Testing (PAT), IntraOp, Acute Pain Management (APM), Post Anaesthesia Care Unit (PACU) and Analytics at both hospitals.

Te Whatu Ora Waikato serves a population of more than 425,000, covering an area of more than 21,000 km².

Altera Digital Health Executive Vice President for APAC Todd Haebich said, “One of the main benefits of Provation iPro is that it can be readily configured and tailored to address the requirements of perioperative services at whatever clinical setting it is required for.”

Provation iPro AIMS went live first at the Royal Adelaide Hospital in 2017 followed by the implementation of additional modules including iPro APM and PACU in mid-2018, introducing a full perioperative information management system.

Collectively between the two Hamilton hospitals, the system currently supports 25 operating theatres (including 37 PACU beds), a delivery suite and catheterisation lab and approximately 180 users.
