Orion Health boosts offering to UK's largest health board
Auckland, New Zealand -Orion Health (OHE:NZX/ASX) has significantly increased
its offering to the United Kingdom's largest healthcare provider, the NHS
Greater Glasgow and Clyde Health Board (NHS GGC), the company announced
today.
The publicly funded NHS GGC is one of the largest scale users of Orion Health
technology with over 25,000 users. Located in west central Scotland, it
delivers services through 35 hospitals, 10 specialised units, and 50
healthcare centres and clinics.
Orion Health has expanded its offering within the NHS GGC to deliver two new
modules, Medicines Reconciliation and Problem List. In addition, the NHS GGC
is extending its use of Orion Health's Coordinate solution by adopting
Healthcare Pathways to support care coordination and patient transfer and
handover.
Jonathan Selby, Orion Health Executive Vice President for Europe, Middle East
and Africa, says the new solution will provide healthcare professionals with
a comprehensive picture of an individual's care needs and help reduce the
potential for any medication related errors.
"It will allow authorised users to understand a full list of patient
allergies and problems, and enable them to keep track of medication changes
that occur during an inpatient episode of care. After the patient is
discharged from hospital it will provide a summary of these changes to other
care professionals," Mr Selby says.
"NHS GGC has acted as a beacon site for others and has driven forward the
integrated health information agenda in Scotland, as well as acting as a
reference study for health regions across the UK and internationally."
"We are delighted to be increasing our offering to NHS GGC, and look forward
to continuing to work with the Board on enabling better healthcare delivery."
