The first third-party application is live in the production environment of ANZ practice management system vendor Medtech Global’s new Application Layer EXchange (ALEX) platform.

Check-in kiosk and queue management vendor Jayex Healthcare is live in one NZ general practice, and fellow NZ PMS vendor MyPractice is also due to start using the methodology for its partnership program in the next few months.

Medtech plans to implement the system for its Australian GP sites, and is also in talks with the big Australian PMS vendors to get them on board, promising that ALEX will be a low-cost, highly scalable solution that will fundamentally alter the way integrations between PMSs and third-party apps occur in both countries.
