Healthcare organisations across Australia and New Zealand are rethinking how they manage instrument tracking, traceability and compliance.
While international platforms such as CensiTrac and T-Doc have been used by hospitals for many years, an increasing number of organisations are looking for a solution that is designed specifically for the requirements of the Australian and New Zealand healthcare environment.
That’s where MaQS comes in.
Developed by an Australian company, MaQS is designed to provide hospitals with a modern, connected approach to tracking everything from reusable medical devices and endoscopes through to consumables and implants – all within a single platform.
Here are five reasons healthcare organisations are choosing MaQS.
1. Australian owned, developed and supported
MaQS is proudly Australian owned and developed, with the system designed with the realities of Australian and New Zealand healthcare environments in mind.
Rather than adapting an international system to meet local requirements, MaQS has been developed around the workflows, standards and operational needs of healthcare organisations in our region.
That local understanding extends beyond development. Our team works directly with hospitals throughout implementation, training and ongoing support, giving customers access to people who understand their environment and their challenges.
2. Built around AS/NZS 5369
Compliance and traceability aren’t optional in healthcare.
MaQS is built to support the requirements of AS/NZS 5369, helping healthcare organisations maintain the documentation, traceability and visibility required throughout the reprocessing lifecycle.
From tracking reusable medical devices through processing and storage to maintaining detailed records of each item’s history, MaQS provides the digital audit trail healthcare organisations need.
Instead of relying on manual records, disconnected systems or time-consuming searches, teams can access the information they need when they need it.
The result? Greater visibility, stronger traceability and greater confidence when it’s time for an audit.
3. Australian-based support with a team that knows you
Software is only part of the solution. The people behind it matter too.
With an Australian-based support and training team, MaQS customers have access to people who understand the local healthcare environment and the way their teams work.
You’re not just a support ticket number.
As your relationship with MaQS develops, you’ll get to know the people supporting your organisation – from implementation and training through to ongoing system support.
That means when you need help, you’re speaking to a team that understands your system, your workflows and your history with MaQS.
4. Software is our specialty – and instrument tracking is our focus
When you choose an instrument tracking system, you want a company that is focused on making that system the best it can be.
T-Doc is part of Getinge and CensiTrac is part of Ecolab – global organisations with extensive expertise in healthcare equipment and infection prevention solutions.
MaQS is different. Software is our specialty, and instrument tracking is our focus.
Our development roadmap is driven by the needs of healthcare organisations using MaQS every day. We are continually investing in the platform, developing new functionality, improving existing workflows and responding to the evolving needs of sterile services, theatres and endoscopy teams.
That means MaQS isn’t simply one product within a much larger equipment portfolio. Instrument tracking is at the heart of what we do.
For our customers, that means a dedicated team focused on one goal: continually making MaQS a smarter, more connected and more valuable platform for healthcare organisations.
Your tracking system should have a company behind it that is just as invested in its future as you are.
5. One platform for your entire tracking ecosystem
One of the biggest challenges with instrument tracking is the number of different things hospitals need to keep track of.
RMDs. Endoscopes. Consumables. Implants. Loans. Repairs. Processing records. Patient allocations.
With MaQS, these can all be managed within one connected platform.
Rather than using separate systems for different asset types or relying on manual processes to connect information together, MaQS provides a centralised view of your tracking data.
This helps reduce duplication, improve visibility and give teams a clearer picture of what’s happening across their operations.
More than instrument tracking
MaQS has evolved beyond traditional instrument tracking.
It’s a connected healthcare platform designed to bring traceability, compliance and operational visibility together.
For hospitals considering a change from an established tracking platform, the question isn’t simply “Does this system track instruments?”
The better question is:
“Does this system meet the way we work today – and where we’re going tomorrow?”
For Australian and New Zealand healthcare organisations, MaQS offers a locally developed alternative built around regional standards, supported by a local team and designed to connect more of the healthcare tracking ecosystem in one place.
Australian healthcare has unique requirements. Your tracking system should be built to understand them.
