IBA Health Group Limited announced an agreement with leading Australian private hospital provider Healthscope Limited valued at A$4.2 million over three years.
The agreement to implement its iSOFT software at 38 Healthscope hospitals is in addition to a A$14 million agreement in December 2007 for software licences and support services over seven years.
The initial agreement included pilot implementations of iSOFT’s web-based patient administration solution at two hospitals.
Following the success of these pilots, implementation will start shortly at Healthscope’s remaining hospitals, including Knox Private Hospital in Victoria, Allamanda Private Hospital in Queensland and Mount Hospital in Western Australia.
The implementation services covered under the latest agreement include project management, software installation, system configuration, training and migrating medical records and data from a range of legacy systems.
Dougall McBurnie, Healthscope’s Group Chief Information Officer, said: “Given the marked improvements in feature and function from iSOFT’s web-based patient administration solution experienced at the two pilot installations, we have elected to roll-out the solution to all of our hospitals, thus standardising our data sets, configurations and business processes.
“The ease of implementation of a common group-wide solution and smooth transition to a modern solution with minimal disruption for staff is a huge bonus.”
Healthscope, one of Australia’s largest private healthcare operators, owns or manages medical/surgical, rehabilitation and psychiatric hospitals. It also operates a leading pathology business with facilities in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and Malaysia.
