Our Services
Why choose us to help?
You are experts in your health field, just like we are in health information analysis and research in Aotearoa New Zealand so let’s start talking to see what we can do together.
For example we have access to local and national primary care medicines information that can help you ensure optimal use of medicines in patients that require them, including underrepresented and priority communities (like Māori, Pacific peoples and specific age groups).
We can provide an overview of the number of people who are taking or not taking a prescribed medicine, their ethnicity, age, health conditions and previous medications and track this over time.
It’s the kind of information that can help you build a full picture of an issue so you can make the right changes to improve health outcomes and advocate for new services if needed.
This helps our health clients, including businesses, organisations and funders, target resources, for example patient education or staff training, to improve patient outcomes.
We make our services as affordable as possible but naturally some of our NGO clients seek sponsorship or funding so they can engage us.
Our journey with clients starts by asking them about the questions they want answered. That means you get information you can act on ‒ not just look at.
Who we can help
Government health service planners and funders
Our data enables health service planners to understand need within defined populations, or newly defined locations, by looking at medicines dispensed. Using a range of variables, such as prescriber type, ethnicity, age, deprivation, and gender we can help you model medicine usage locally or across the country.
People preparing tenders, RFIs, RFPs and business cases
We can provide longitudinal data on medicine use within therapeutical categories over time to support the development of commercial tenders or business cases.
Commercial organisations and NGOs
We help you to optimise the use of your funded medicines and related services within the Aotearoa New Zealand healthcare sector. This is because the data we provide helps you build a full picture of your patient experience.
Advocacy and public policy engagement project leaders
Successful public policy development relies on sector experts and advocates contributing to consultation on policy design. We’re able to help you understand how medicines are used, prescribed and dispensed within defined populations nationally to support advocacy and engagement initiatives.
Our stakeholder engagement process
The Matui team has specialist skills in stakeholder engagement and that’s important because this is part of every project.
A formal process to identify key stakeholders is undertaken with the client and we work together to consider the best way to do this.
We base our engagement processes on the core values and principles of IAP2 (International Association of Public Participation) which include principles for engaging with indigenous populations. We are also guided by the Engagement Frameworks provided by Te Arawhiti The Office for Māori Crown Relations.
One of the reasons for this is our services use government-owned datasets and report on medicines largely funded by government.
