iSOFT has secured a four-year, $5.9 million deal to provide support and maintenance services for Spain’s Castilla la Mancha Healthcare Service (SESCAM).

Under the agreement, Australia's largest listed health information technology company has renewed a contract to deliver services, training and maintenance of Turriano, a regional primary care solution developed by iSOFT and based on its e-SIAP solution.

iSOFT managing director for Southern Europe and Latin America, Guillermo Ramas, says Turriano is being referenced in other countries such as Portugal and Latin America.

“It is a privilege for iSOFT to help SESCAM offer a quality healthcare service to its citizens with the objective of having a complete primary care medical record.”

Ramas says Turriano links around 200 care centres and more than 1,100 GP surgeries that make up the primary healthcare network across the SESCAM region.

“About 14,000 family doctors, nurses and other clinical professionals use the software to manage 113,000 appointments and 150,000 prescriptions daily to improve the quality of healthcare services for the region’s more than 2 million patients.”
