Clinics in the South Pacific.

Live

Moana runs at private clinics in the South Pacific, and at private laboratories and pharmacies in the region. The founding site, Moana’s first pilot clinic, moved across from its previous system and has run its practice on Moana every day since April 2026.

The challenge

Moving established practices onto a single clinical record.

For a private practice, running a new system in parallel with an existing one carries little risk. Retiring the existing system is the substantive step, because the practice then depends on the new system for every registered patient and every scheduled appointment.

The founding pilot clinic took that step in April 2026. Its records, appointment schedule and prescribing now sit in Moana, and its doctors work from Moana every day.

The objective is to reduce the fragmentation of information at the point of care, so that clinicians spend less of each consultation locating information and more of it with the patient.

As the first site to run the platform in daily practice, the founding clinic has informed the development of Moana for private practices, and the feedback of its doctors continues to shape the product.

Scope deployed

Clinical and diagnostic services on one platform.

In the clinics

  • The clinical day begins from the appointment list in Moana
  • Each patient has a single record holding consultation notes, prescriptions and results
  • Clinicians document, prescribe and review results within that record
  • When the connection drops, work is saved on the device and synchronised when it returns

Laboratories and pharmacies

  • Private laboratories work in MOANA LIS
  • Private pharmacies work in the Moana Pharmacy Management System
  • Both operate on the same platform as the clinics

Next steps

Shared infrastructure across private providers.

The longer term objective is for private clinics, laboratories and pharmacies to operate on shared infrastructure, so that a patient’s record, results and prescriptions can follow them between providers and, in time, into the public health system.

Doctors at the founding clinic continue to work directly with the Moana team. Issues raised in daily practice are taken into the product, and have already shaped how Moana supports small private practices.
