iMDsoft and ErgoGroup announce framework agreement in Norway

The scope of the project is estimated to be as much as E29 million. The framework agreement follows the three existing iMDsoft installations in hospitals in the region, the first of which, at the Akershus University Hospital in Oslo, has been operational since 2000.

Steinar Marthinsen, vice president of South-Eastern Norway Regional Health Authority, said: “This is a valuable and important project for the hospital trusts in our region. The fact that patients have the right to choose where to receive treatment has affected us and must be reflected in our work routines: we will therefore establish a core solution. This has not been done on these kinds of systems before, and will thus require close collaboration with the hospital trusts.

“The core solution will be standardized and ensures equality in assessment and treatment, which is in line with the restructuring process, as well as our information and communication technology strategies.”

Phyllis Gotlib, CEO of iMDsoft, said: “We are delighted that the South-Eastern Norway Regional Health Authority is entrusting us with the mission-critical and complex task of managing the acute care data for its hospitals.

“I am confident that the MetaVision Suite will enable the authority to achieve the goals it has established for this important project – creating a complete continuum of data across the entire acute care arena, improving care quality for their patients throughout the region, promoting research, and enhancing financial efficiency. We look forward to partnering with the authority in this endeavor.”
