Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Global health IT systems vendor, InterSystems has started deploying the Australian-developed InterSystems TrakCare connected health information system in the new Santiago Military Hospital in Chile that will enable electronic clinical files for soldiers to be made available whenever they seek attention at any of the health centres across Chile that are part of the country’s Army Health Command (Cosale) Network.
According to InterSystems, with the new system,
once a patient receives attention at any of the centres in the Army
network, a “unique electronic clinical file will be generated,” with
the information it contains then being made available for retrieval at
the Santiago Military Hospital as well as all other Army primary care
centres.
InterSystems says that “by opting to implement an integrated health
network, the Chilean army will be able to standardise and share medical
information among health professionals, as well as managing preventive
medicine and health-planning programs, leading to improved quality of
care.
“Among the information recorded within the electronic clinical file
will be the family history, the results of examinations, procedures and
episodes of care, and administered medicines. The possibility also
exists to optimise processes such as the distribution and usage of
medicines, security and the reduction of duplicate exams.”
General (ret) Aldo Cardinalli, manager of the HIS Cosale Project, said
"the selection of InterSystems as the supplier of the Hospital
Information System was the result of a comprehensive evaluation program
that started with the participation of 25 companies.
"Only five vendors participated in the bidding, and only two of them
qualified technically for the final analysis. Once reviewed, it was
determined that TrakCare met all the established requirements and
InterSystems was awarded the project."
InterSystems says the TrakCare-based Hospital Information System at the
Santiago Military Hospital comprises two modules, which are completely
unified and share information. The first, the Clinical Information
System (CIS), groups together all the health information that supports
the management of the electronic clinical file, the outpatient and
inpatient episodes, as well as operating theatre and bed management.
The second module supports the administration, accounting and financial
management of the hospital (ERP).
To deliver the priject, InterSystems says it created a strategic
alliance with the Global Service Company that will provide its
IconSystems software as part of the project, and to support the project
implementation at the national level, InterSystems will work with STG,
Chile.
