Orion Health enters French market with two landmark contracts
Auckland, New Zealand - Orion Health (OHE:NZX/ASX) is contributing to the
transformation of the French healthcare sector as it embarks on two major
projects in France, the company announced today.
Orion Health CEO Ian McCrae says the contracts represent a significant
milestone for the company, as it is the first time it will deliver its
solutions in France.
"These are landmark contracts for Orion Health. We are entering the French
market with our strategic solutions and are in a great position to leverage
our experience and platform for other projects as France transforms its
health system," says Mr McCrae.
Jonathan Selby, Orion Health Executive Vice President for Europe, Middle East
and Africa, says the company is playing an integral role in France's shift
from a hospital-centric model of care to a patient-centric model.
In order to find the right model of care, the French Ministry of Health is
funding a nationwide programme called TSN (Territoires de Soins Num?riques -
Digital Care Regions). The TSN has pilot projects in five regions and Orion
Health is participating in two projects - the TerriSant? project in Paris and
the eTICSS project in the Burgundy region.
In both contracts, the Orion Health solutions chosen have been built on an
open data platform that scales to aggregate and manage different types of
health-related data.
"They will enable coordinated and personalised information to be shared
across different groups of healthcare professionals and organisations that
are involved in these ground-breaking projects," says Mr Selby.
TerriSant? project in Paris
As part of a consortium led by Accenture, the TerriSant? project will see
Orion Health provide solutions that enable better, more coordinated health
treatment for residents in the Ile-de-France region, which includes Paris and
its surrounding urban area.
The five-year contract is with Groupement de Coop?ration Sanitaire pour le
D?veloppement des Syst?mes d'Information en Sant? partag?s en Ile-de-France
(GCS D-SISIF). The build phase for the contract is currently scheduled to run
until March 2017 in an initial territory covering 350,000 residents, after
which the GCS D-SISIF will look to extend the pilot across the Ile-de-France
region, potentially reaching a population of over 12 million people.
Professor Eric Lepage, Director of the Innovation Programme and head of the
TerriSant? project for GCS D-SISIF, says the Accenture/Orion Health proposal
was chosen because it most closely met the region's vision of healthcare, and
for the ability of the platform to incorporate care pathways that allow for
improved communication between health professionals.
Orion Health's solutions will be used as part of a platform to provide
services that include care coordination via pathways, patient scheduling, lab
and radiology results, pre-admission administration, online payments for
patients, e-orders, e-referrals and e-prescription.
eTICSS project in Burgundy
In partnership with CSC, the eTICSS project will see Orion Health deliver the
solution platform to develop shared services for patients, hospitals, primary
care and social care in the south of Burgundy.
The 15-month contract is with Groupement de Coop?ration Sanitaire e-Sant?
Bourgogne (GCS). The build phase is currently scheduled to run until March
2017 in an initial territory covering 300,000 residents, after which there
will be a generalisation phase aimed at covering the full population of
Burgundy and Franche-Comt? - a population of three million people.
Jos? Godfroy, director of GCS says the CSC/Orion Health proposal was selected
based on the ability of the Orion Health platform to be deployed rapidly, and
its extensive flexibility.
"Orion Health's experience with similar territory-wide solutions throughout
the world, provides the experience necessary for the project's successful
adoption," says Mr Godfroy.
Orion Health's solutions will be used in the roll out of eight main services,
including the Information and Orientation Centre for patients and healthcare
professionals, care coordination, e-prescription and immunisation, patient
education and e-learning, and administration of the Regional Information
System.
