IBA Health Group Limited announced that iSOFT won a contract for a hospital information system with a National Health Service (NHS) trust in southern England worth EUR2.4 million (A$5 million) over five years.
The contract with Heatherwood and Wexham Park Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is for iSOFT's i.Patient Manager (i.PM) PAS and a technical refresh of an existing iSOFT clinical solution, 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 i.PM is replacing an outdated third-party system.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 solution under England's National Programme for IT. This is one of the first major deals in the Southern Cluster, which was formerly serviced by Fujitsu.
Jonathan Pearce, the Trust's Director of Infrastructure, said: "We are delighted to be working with iSOFT on this very important programme for Heatherwood and Wexham Park Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. We already have a strong working relationship with iSOFT as we already use its clinical information system, i.CM. We very much value our partnership with iSOFT and look forward to strengthening this and working with the company to deliver the new PAS solution to the trust."
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," Stevens said.
The trust serves a population of more than 450,000 in six locations: Wexham Park Hospital near Slough, Heatherwood Hospital in Ascot, and hospitals and outpatient clinics in Bracknell, Maidenhead, the Chalfonts, and Windsor.
