OzHub, the Macquarie Telecom-led cloud computing alliance, has come down firmly on the side of Optus over the copyright controversy surrounding Optus TV Now, warning that any moves to change the law "risk branding Australia a global luddite state."
Australia's largest listed health IT company, iSOFT, has added to its UK healthcare industry client base with the implementation of the latest version of its Lorenzo electronic patient record solution at NHS Bury Primary Care Trust (PCT) in Lancashire.
Gary Cohen, iSOFT’s executive chairman and CEO
said today Lorenzo regional care 1.9 had gone live with NHS Bury this
month and is being used by the organisation for referral and caseload
management as well as inpatient and outpatient functionality. The
system supports almost 600 community-based clinical and administrative
users working across two wards and 1,200 clinics, and the trust has
plans to introduce clinical functionality in the coming months by using
assessment functionality for orthopaedics and dietetics.
According to Cohen, “Bury PCT demonstrates a significant step forward
for Lorenzo’s strategic role within the National Programme for IT. The
implementation teams have shown tenacity and determination to deliver a
successful go-live and we are looking forward to further go-lives with
this Trust, and a number of others, in the near future.”
iSOFT's UK and Ireland managing director, Stevens, says the company
remains committed to actively working with partner CSC on the delivery
of Lorenzo Regional Care under the North, Midlands and East Programme
for IT.
“The Bury Trust go-live is a particularly important achievement, both
for iSOFT as well the National Programme, because this latest version
of Lorenzo takes the efficient provision of healthcare in England to a
new level. We will be closely monitoring the deployment at Bury over
the coming weeks to ensure the system works well as staff continue to
use this on a daily basis. Looking beyond the success at Bury, iSOFT
continues to actively support both CSC and NHS Connecting for Health in
achieving the goals of the NPfIT and core IT strategy by continuing to
deliver Lorenzo to the contracted regions in England.”
