IBA Health Group, an Australian health IT company, has announced that iSOFT has won a contract for a hospital IT with a National Health Service trust in southern England worth GBP2.4m over five years.
The contract with Heatherwood and Wexham Park Hospitals National Health Service (NHS) Foundation Trust is for iSOFT’s i.Patient Manager (i.PM) Applications Specialist (PAS) and a technical refresh of an existing iSOFT clinical system, i.Clinical Manager (i.CM). i.PM is replacing an outdated third-party system.
The trust elected to contract directly with iSOFT for a replacement PAS instead of waiting for a system under England’s National Program for IT.
Adrian Stevens, managing director of iSOFT UK and Ireland, said: i.PM is a highly robust and proven solution from a company with an established pedigree in the NHS.
The seamless integration with i.CM provides a complete patient and clinical management solution to better manage appointments, improve efficiency and reduce waiting times. It also provides a foundation for a smooth transition to iSOFT’s next-generation of healthcare solutions. This underlines our position as the leading provider of healthcare solutions to the NHS.
