FAQs

  • Why did McCrae Hospitals rebrand to Amalga?

    We’ve put the platform’s original name back on the label. Amalga speaks to our mission: unifying clinical + operational data so frontline teams move faster. The core tech is unchanged, just a clearer promise of connected care.

  • What is Amalga?

    A cloud-native, modular hospital system built for the front-line. It covers everything from patient administration to ward, theatre, revenue-cycle, clinical workflow and real-time bed flow, all on one platform.

  • Who owns Amalga and where are you based?

    Amalga is owned by McCrae Tech, a NZ-owned innovation lab founded by Ian McCrae. It is headquartered in Auckland, New Zealand with customers across New Zealand, Vietnam, Thailand and Philippines.

  • Which hospitals run on Amalga today?

    30+ hospitals and 5000+ beds trust the platform for day-to-day operations across public, private and multi-sites including American International Hospital, Rutnin Eye Hospital, Chaophya Hospital, Far East Medical Vietnam, Mahachai Hospitals, Franklin Private Hospital, Kaweka Health, Health NZ South Island, VINMEC International and Asian Hospital.

  • How does Amalga speed up care?

    Core design principles: Modular & Scalable, Mobile-ready, Fully Integrated, remove duplicate data entry and keep clinicians and care moving. Real-time patient-flow dashboards add the missing “air-traffic-control” layer.

  • Is Amalga interoperable?

    Yes. We expose open APIs and map to FHIR R4, HL7 v2/v3 and SNOMED CT so you can plug into national and regional exchange platforms.

  • Cloud or on-prem?

    Both. Amalga ships cloud-native out of the box but also runs in hybrid or on-prem environments for regions with tight data-sovereignty rules.

  • What modules can we start with?

    Choose what works: Patient Administration, Clinicals, Ward & Theatre, Revenue-Cycle, Inventory, Referral, eAdmissions and more . Turn on what you need; scale when you’re ready.
