It is good to see that Vino Ramayah and Sanjeewa Samaweera will be continuing the fine work they have done in pioneering the introduction of patient portals, which are now being used by many New Zealanders on a daily basis. While others have followed in their footsteps and built competing products, from the very beginning, MMH has led the way in this important market segment. Vino and Sanjeewa have set the pace.
Wide-spread adoption of patient portals is the untold success story of the NZ health IT marketplace.
Well done too, Geoff Sayer and colleagues who have seized the nettle and entered the NZ PMS marketplace with a flourish. It will be good to see the innovation and new ideas this will no doubt yield.
