Alcidion Expands $6.8M Contract to Integrate MediViewer with Miya Precision

Contract Expansion Enhances Digital Patient Records

Alcidion Group Limited (ASX, ALC) has announced a significant expansion of its existing contract with North Cumbria Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust (NCIC). The deal, valued at approximately $6.8 million over nearly a decade, will see the integration of MediViewer, an electronic document management system developed by Alcidion’s partner Mizaic, into the Miya Precision Electronic Patient Record (EPR) platform already deployed at NCIC.

This integration aims to provide clinicians with seamless access to scanned and historical patient documents directly within their clinical workflows. By consolidating records into a single user interface, the solution promises to improve efficiency and reduce the friction often associated with managing disparate paper and digital records.

Driving Clinical Workflow Digitisation and Efficiency

The addition of MediViewer aligns with NCIC’s broader strategy to digitise clinical workflows and enhance digital maturity. The system’s healthcare-specific design, combined with intelligent indexing and Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology, enables clinicians to quickly locate relevant documents with confidence. This is expected to be a significant efficiency driver, as noted by Andy Laverick, NCIC’s Chief Information Officer, who highlighted the benefit of accessing historical patient records through a unified clinical interface.

Already in use by over 20 NHS trusts, including several within the North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board, MediViewer supports regional convergence of patient data. This interoperability facilitates better visibility of scanned documents across neighbouring trusts within the Integrated Care System (ICS), fostering collaboration and continuity of care.

Strategic Implications for Alcidion and the NHS

For Alcidion, this contract expansion not only reinforces its foothold in the UK healthcare IT market but also validates its strategy of partnering with third-party vendors to enhance its Miya Precision platform. CEO Kate Quirke emphasized that the digitisation of patient health records lays the groundwork for future adoption of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and predictive analytics, which could further transform clinical decision-making.

With over 400 hospitals and 87 healthcare organisations currently serviced by Alcidion across the UK, Australia, and New Zealand, this deal exemplifies the company’s ongoing commitment to improving healthcare delivery through smart, integrated technology solutions.

While the contract’s long duration may temper immediate revenue impact, the strategic value of embedding MediViewer within Miya Precision could unlock new opportunities for Alcidion as healthcare providers increasingly prioritise digital transformation.
