Queenstown Medical Centre (QMC) will phase in a new patient portal from next Friday to replace its hacked Manage My Health (MMH) app. CEO Ashley Light says it’s chosen New Zealand-based Vensa Health Ltd, because it best meets QMC’s cyber security requirements. Vensa will begin inviting QMC patients to sign up to its web browser-based portal on March 20. However, it later learned the data flow has continued because the instructions were incorrect. ‘‘But we think it was the right thing to do for our patients, because MMH clearly wasn't meeting our requirements, our patients’ requirements or cyber security requirements.’’
