In this episode of The Good GP, hosts Dr Tim Koh and Dr Sean Stevens speak with Geoffrey Sayer, CEO of Medtech, at the Digital Health Festival 2024. Geoffrey introduces Medtech, an electronic health record system designed to service practices in Australia and New Zealand, providing a comprehensive patient practice management system (PMS).

Beginning with an overview of Medtech's capabilities and its market presence. Geoffrey highlights the importance of having a flexible and future-proof PMS that allows for customization and integration with other software applications adaptable to the diverse needs of general practices.

Geoffrey explains the concept of APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) and their role in enabling third-party software to interact with Medtech's system. He introduces Medtech’s Application Layer Exchange (ALEX®), a sandbox environment where developers can create and test new applications that integrate with their PMS. This fosters an ecosystem of innovation, allowing practices to customise their systems to meet specific requirements.


Dr Sean Stevens queries about the potential of an app store for PMS, to which Geoffrey acknowledges the growing trend but emphasises the need for standardised APIs to ensure cross-vendor compatibility. They then explore the technical feasibility for GPs to develop or commission customised applications, enhancing their practice management experience.


Geoffrey predicts a hybrid model of PMS combining local servers with cloud-based services, advancements in inbox management, and an increase in AI-assisted functions. He acknowledges the appetite amongst GPs for more innovative, flexible solutions and the role that smarter data integration, particularly with wearable devices, will play in the future.
