Orion Health Expands Its Presence in Southeast Asia with Two Significant
Signings in Vietnam
Orion Health has been chosen to provide solutions to the Vinmec International
group of Hospitals as well as signing a strategic partnership with
prestigious corporation VIT Corp
Auckland - 3 July 2015 - New Zealand's leading healthcare software company,
Orion Health (OHE:NZX) has secured two new strategic deals in Vietnam, which
will build its momentum and market presence in the rapidly developing
Southeast Asia region.
Orion Health has been selected to provide its Enterprise software solution to
Vietnam's Vinmec International Hospital, a premium healthcare provider
headquartered in Hanoi. Vinmec will utilise Orion Health software to improve
the delivery and quality of care by implementing a single, integrated
multi-site interface that will enable a single view of the patient record
across all of their sites. Initially this technology will be deployed in
Vinmec Hanoi, Vinmec Phu Quoc, Vinmec Central Park and in two clinics; Vinmec
Royal City, Vinmec Saigon. This deployment will be closely followed by a
further six sites - supporting the group's bid for accreditation by the Joint
Commission International (JCI) recognising their commitment to safety and
quality.
"Vinmec receives a large number of patients annually who are medical tourists
drawn by the premium healthcare and world-class services we provide. The
quality of the care that they receive is our measure of success, and our
partnership with Orion Health will enable us to offer an integrated system
for storing and retrieving the medical records of our patients. We look
forward to more opportunities to improve the delivery and quality of
healthcare services through this collaboration with Orion Health," said
Nguyen Thanh Liem, Chief Executive Officer of Vinmec International Hospital.
This continues a trend for Orion Health in signing prestigious private
hospital organisations throughout Southeast Asia, by providing integrated
software solutions that help support their efforts at improving efficiency
and effectiveness of care delivery.
"Orion Health is committed to making a difference in the delivery of
healthcare for patients across the Southeast Asian region by making it easier
for records to be accessed and shared across multi-site organisations. As the
first international general hospital in Hanoi to receive these solutions, we
are honoured to partner with Vinmec to streamline processes and to bring
advanced healthcare solutions to patients from Vietnam and the region," said
Ian McCrae, Chief Executive Officer of Orion Health.
Complementing this significant new customer win, Orion Health today also
signed a strategic partnership with VIT Corporation to improve hospital
efficiency and enhance the quality of healthcare across several Vietnamese
provinces.
VIT Corporation enjoys a stellar local reputation combined with a long and
successful history of IT outsourcing, which complements the innovative and
world leading solutions that Orion Health offer.
Senior Vice President for Asia Pacific, Darren Jones, believes this strategic
agreement is pivotal for Orion Health to enjoy long-term success in Vietnam.
"We see huge potential for our integrated hospital solutions throughout
Vietnam and we will be actively pursuing a number of new opportunities
throughout FY16. This partnership with VIT Corporation will help us to
strengthen our market presence and provide us with a number of additional
relationships and opportunities that would have taken us years to generate on
our own."
Orion Health and VIT Corporation have confirmed the pilot delivery of eHealth
solutions to hospitals in the public sector will begin in Khanh Hoa province,
with this partnership expected to expand across Vietnam in the coming years.

Orion Health has received feedback from investors asking for more information
to be disclosed via the New Zealand and Australian Stock Exchanges and not
just information considered to be material. This release is the start of a
broader approach to disclosure from Orion Health that will result in more
information being disclosed via both exchanges moving forward.
