New Information Technology Offers Long-Lasting Benefits
DALLAS, April 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. (NYSE: ACS) today announced that it has successfully completed Phase I of the Government of Malta's Integrated Health Information System (IHIS), a program to attain the highest quality patient care for the citizens of Malta.
Along with iSOFT, a key technology partner, ACS has installed state-of-the-art IT infrastructure that connects laboratory, radiology, and image archiving communication systems and integrates them with iSOFT's Patient Administration System and Clinical Order Communication and Results Reporting System. The systems have already helped improve the delivery and management of healthcare service and records in Malta's new 850-bed Mater Dei Hospital, the nation's largest healthcare facility. ACS will also provide ongoing operations, maintenance, and integration services and support through an on-site command center.
"The rapid implementation of this system was designed to provide quick benefits to the citizens of Malta," said Charles Bracken, managing director of ACS Healthcare Solutions. "Not only were we required to install new digital technology, but laboratory and radiology services had to be completely updated in the process, and all of this needed to happen while Mater Dei Hospital was moving to a new campus.
"By developing and deploying important IT partnerships, we were able to
meet our aggressive deadlines. We transferred our healthcare knowledge to
the Government of Malta in record time. Now we look forward to leveraging
our global healthcare experience and expertise to help Mater Dei Hospital
provide world-class care to those who need it most," he sai
