Medinz is the trusted platform for communicating clinically relevant updates across primary care – keeping providers informed with essential, non-patient-specific information to support every patient interaction.
Primary care providers are on the frontline – providing immediate care, triage, continuity and public health management for their communities.
To do this effectively, they need timely, trusted and relevant information.
Following the 2017 Auckland typhoid outbreak, Medinz was co-designed by Healthpoint and the health sector to enable efficient, two-way digital communication between regional health authorities and primary care.
One trusted channel for all clinical communication – reducing duplication and message overload.
Updates are clearly triaged – so recipients instantly know what’s critical, urgent, or routine.
Practitioners receive essential updates without delay – direct to their pocket (by text) within minutes of message publication.
GPs can join quickly via their existing PMS credentials or Healthpoint Directory listing.
Publishers can track delivery for confidence of message receipt.
Messages are distributed by provider type and geography – so recipients only see what’s relevant to them.
Medinz informs teams about emerging diseases, treatment protocols, preventative measures and changes impacting service delivery. Users of Medinz are either Publishers or Recipients. Publishing is backed by a shared way of working and governance structure.
Message Publishers may include:
Message Recipients include staff in:
Medinz messages are categorised as Critical, Urgent, Routine or Professional Development.

Important updates that require timely attention eg. nurse strikes, measles outbreak
Regular updates and information eg. winter preparedness, changes to a Care Pathway
Opportunities such as clinical seminars and workshops

The region’s testing provider, Labtests, used Medinz to alert GPs that some Labtests branches were closed and to ask them to delay routine blood tests until power could be restored. The response was significant and rapid: weekly test collections fell from 12,000 to 3,000, helping Labtests to prioritise critical work.
Why Medinz was found to be world-leading and suggested for wide-scale use in Aotearoa.
