Our Mission Statement

Working towards the successful integration of human, technology and information resources of our clients. We aim to empower clients with flexible options that best suit their needs for health information systems and quality management.

Company Profile

Management Consultants and Technology Services (MCATS) was formed in 1988 by the current directors, and has been actively providing consultancy services to health agencies and statutory groups since that time. MCATS personnel have many combined years of experience in a variety of Clinical, Administrative and Technology roles in Health, Government and Commercial agencies.

MCATS provides high level consultancy to health service organisations requiring assistance with interpretation and implementation in relation to new and revised systems and quality management. Systems may be both process and technology based. A significant proportion of the company's work is the development, implementation and support of specialist information systems for clinical personnel.

We work in conjunction with a number of major Information System vendors and Hospitals to enhance complex systems. We strive to provide a high quality and personal support service, from the initial stages of implementation, through go-live and beyond.

MCATS also provides services in the following areas:

  • Preparation of submissions for bed and other funding allocations for existing or new Aged Care Providers, beds/facilities.
  • Preparation for facility accreditation with the Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing.
  • Development of procedures and policies for all aspects of documentation in relation to achieving accreditation.
  • Development of procedures and policies for the commissioning of new aged care facilities/agencies, both residential and non-residential.
  • Advising on Human Resource, Industrial Relations and Occupational Health and Safety issues.
  • Promotion and Marketing of new aged care facilities and other health care agencies and recruitment of care recipients and staff.
  • Small Business mentoring and counseling.
  • International students counseling, social support and conversational English coaching.

MCATS draws on a number of people resources from within the industry, experts in their own field and providing established consultancy services in their own right. We have associate consultants who provide specialist skills that ensure the full range of service requirements can be delivered for a project's completion.

As a smaller company we pride ourselves on personal client focused approach, designed to empower our clients by maximizing the benefits from their successful integration of people, technology and information resources.

The Birthing Outcomes System (BOS) is a clinical management information system designed to capture comprehensive details about mother and baby during a pregnancy episode.

The BOS system, since it’s inception in 1990 has been widely used by midwives and clinicians in conjunction with day to day clinical practice, administration and review in Maternity Units of varying levels of activity and complexity.

The main objectives of the system are:

  • To significantly reduce data duplication and proliferation when replacing the manual process.
  • To produce consistent and quality documentation and reporting.
  • Address the competing interests between patient care responsibilities and the need for quality documentation.
  • Meet the statutory reporting requirements associated with Birth Registration, Statutory and Perinatal reporting and clinical audit.
