Modernising hospital communication
Pager and DECT phone replacement
Medtasker has completely replaced pagers across a number of hospitals, improving communication and coordination across clinical and operational teams, from doctors to security staff. If you’re looking to retire outdated technology for something your staff will readily adopt, Medtasker has the track record.
Address WhatsApp and texting security headaches
Hospitals face ongoing privacy and confidentiality risks when staff rely on unauthorised communication tools, because they’ve never been given a secure, fit-for-purpose alternative. Even pager systems are vulnerable, with intercepted radio signals exposing confidential patient information.*
Medtasker addresses these risks with a purpose-built communication platform staff are willing to adopt.

Deployed in line with your priorities.
Medtasker is experienced in delivering projects for health services. Each implementation is delivered by a PRINCE2-certified project manager working alongside your internal project team.
Our framework runs through project initiation, technical configuration, user acceptance testing, training, go-live support and post-implementation activities.
We understand what can derail software deployments in healthcare. From change management and resourcing pressures to third-party integration dependencies and BYOD readiness. We actively work with customers to identify and manage these risks upfront.
Built for the way hospitals adopt technology
- Cloud or on-premise deployment options
- Hospital-issued devices +/- BYOD supported
- Android and iOS apps, with desktop computer access for coordination roles
- WiFi +/- Cellular network access
- Common deployment risks surfaced early, managed jointly
At Royal Hobart Hospital, Medtasker was implemented as a standalone solution that integrated with legacy hospital systems and complemented existing processes. Scope expanded progressively: ED referrals first, then admitting teams, theatre, pharmacy and finally a full Hospital at Night model of care.
The success of this project saw the Tasmanian Department of Health roll out Medtasker statewide across its other hospitals.

Frequently asked questions
Where does Medtasker fit within our digital architecture?
Medtasker sits between your existing clinical, administrative and operational systems as a coordination layer. It integrates with systems such as patient administration, EMR, ED, nurse call and patient monitoring platforms, coordinating the operational work that flows between them without replacing existing infrastructure.
Why are hospitals investing in operational coordination now?
Many hospitals have spent the last decade digitising clinical records. The next challenge is coordinating the work that happens between systems, teams and sites. As hospitals face increasing demand, workforce pressures and governance requirements, operational visibility and coordination have become strategic priorities alongside clinical digitisation.
How does Medtasker meet security and governance requirements?
Medtasker supports deployment in Australian and New Zealand AWS regions and aligns with recognised healthcare security and privacy frameworks. The platform supports single sign-on, role-based access controls, multi-factor authentication and integration with existing identity and device management environments. No patient data is stored on end-user devices.
How is implementation risk managed?
Most hospitals begin with a single workflow before expanding. Implementations are delivered alongside your project team and aligned to existing governance, infrastructure and change management processes. This staged approach reduces risk, accelerates adoption and allows value to be demonstrated early.
Why isn't this functionality already covered by our EMR?
Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) are designed to document care and maintain the clinical record. Medtasker is designed to coordinate work and communication across teams, systems and workflows in real time. It captures operational activity, escalations and handovers that are often managed through phones, pagers, emails and disconnected systems, creating operational visibility that most EMRs do not provide.
Why do health services choose Medtasker?
Medtasker has been deployed across more than 50 hospitals in Australia and New Zealand and has coordinated more than 10 million clinical and operational tasks. Our team specialises in healthcare delivery environments, with implementation, support and product development delivered from Australia and shaped by ongoing customer collaboration.
