Accenture introduces national EHR system in Singapore

Accenture has teamed up with Oracle, Hewlett-Packard and smaller companies like Orion Health and Initiate Systems in the Singapore health project.

The system, developed with backup by the Singapore Ministry of Health, enhances the quality of health care services by helping doctors and hospitals to organize medical records of patients, as well as lower service costs, helping service providers by offering health care policies.

The system also seeks to eliminate duplication, needless medical tests and faulty mediation.

The system makes it easy for medical practitioners and patients to track clinical histories, without the hassle of storing hard copies.
