Orion Health wins Technology Provider of the Year at 2015 UK HealthInvestor
Awards
Award for expertise in delivering new benefits across major public health
projects
Auckland - June 25th 2015 - Orion Health (OHE: NZX/ASX) has won the 2015
HealthInvestor award for Technology Provider of the Year for ground-breaking
partnerships that deliver better healthcare services, the company announced
today.
Presenting the award at a gala evening with over 1300 health sector leaders
in London earlier this month, judges said Orion Health stood out for having a
big impact in providing technology to health services where it most mattered
across numerous major UK health projects.
The judges cited Orion Health for its role in innovative and ground-breaking
partnerships helping a "highly vulnerable, formerly ill-served group of
patients, generating great results," and an "excellent example of clinical
business partnership in patients' interest."
Health projects where Orion Health information integration technology was
cited for helping widely differing and changing populations included:
o An award-winning partnership with Health & Social Care Services
Northern Ireland providing clinical portal-based electronic care record
services to the entire population of Northern Ireland (1.8 million people) -
where 83% of doctors reported a better clinical outcome as a result of the
partnership.
o A partnership with Connecting Care integrating health and social care
information across Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire.
o Working in Scotland with the NHS Great Glasgow and Clyde Health
Board, one of the largest health boards in the UK, to implement an Electronic
Health Record system that allows doctors to access patient records from
multiple sources no matter where they are located: this now supports the
viewing of over 160,000 results per week via the portal.
"This award is welcome recognition of the vital health benefits Orion Health
is helping provide across the United Kingdom," Orion Health CEO, Ian McCrae,
said.
"It will contribute to the strong momentum we have built in that market. It
is particularly pleasing as it recognises our efforts in helping drive our
customers' success - something our UK team should be extremely proud of."
The three projects selected by the judges reflected Orion Health's leading
role in delivering clinical portal functionality within hospitals and
clinics, connecting electronic health records across multiple regions.
Since entering the UK and Irish markets over ten years ago, Orion Health is
now considered a leader and has enjoyed a doubling of business over the past
three years from 31 to over 65 NHS customers.
The HealthInvestor awards were established nine years ago to recognise the
innovation and excellence of the teams investing in, operating or advising
healthcare providers in the UK.
