Australian listed health IT group, iSOFT has signed up its fifth German customer to deploy its Lorenzo next generation health information system solution.

Under the three-year contract worth $1.9 million, the iSOFT group (ASX:ISF) will this year install its ClinicCentre HIS solution, and gradually replace individual modules with Lorenzo functionality as it becomes available, for Klinikum Saarbrücken, one of Germany’s major general hospitals. Located at Saarbrücken, the state capital of Saarland, Klinikum Saarbrücken is a 600-bed acute care, teaching hospital for the University of Saarland, employing 2,200 staff and treating 110,000 patients a year.

iSOFT’s managing director Central Europe, Peter Herrmann, said Klinikum Saarbrücken was an existing customer for iSOFT’s RadCentre radiology information system, and, as one of Germany’s major general hospitals, was “renowned for using the latest technology in medicine and patient care.”

“Its decision to adopt Lorenzo is further recognition that we have the right strategy; one that offers customers a clear path to migrate to a next-generation solution at a pace that suits their needs and budgets, while building on existing investments.”

Replacement of the hospital’s existing Nexus inpatient system with iSOFT’s ClinicCentre solution is due to be completed in September this year, and Herrmann says the first Lorenzo component is expected to be installed in 2010.

“Based on Lorenzo technology, the iSOFT Collaboration Suite (iCS) portal will allow GPs access to hospital patient records using standard Web browsers. Lorenzo is a next-generation suite of healthcare applications based on service-oriented architecture. iCS allows the secure exchange of patient information between care providers to improve collaboration between care teams.”

According to Herrmann, Klinikum Saarbrücken hospital is the fifth early adopter of Lorenzo in Germany, with other Lorenzo early adopters in Aachen, Leipzig, Krankenhaus Buchholz and Winsen.
