Logica signs international cooperation with Orion Health to ensure better services to Dutch health care organizations
Logica a leading business and technology service company, and Orion Health™, the global leader in clinical workflow and integration technology for the healthcare sector, have entered into a strategic partnership to address the Dutch Healthcare market. The collaboration will offer healthcare organisations throughout the Dutch region an innovative and proven solution that will ultimately improve patient care.
The joint solution will leverage Orion Health’s Innovative data integration technology backed by Logica’s expertise in business consulting, systems integration, and IT services.
The Dutch healthcare market is a welcome addition to the current list of regions in which Logica and Orion Health work together which include Australia, Denmark and Norway. Late last year, Norway's Health Region South East tendered for an innovative Clinical Desktop solution to provide visual integration across a diverse supplier base. Orion Health, in partnership with Logica in Norway was successful in winning this highly strategic and important deal. Currently, Orion Health and Logica are delivering this project in partnership with Norway’s Oslo University Hospital.
"The Dutch welfare state faces major challenges. The demand for health services by the aging continues to increase while budgets are under pressure. It is important to maximize process improvements and free up resources to increase assistance to patients. With the correct use of ICT, important steps can be made to achieve this. The realisation of regional care infrastructure is a good example, "says Monique Mulder, Managing Director of Logica Netherlands Public Sector.
In the healthcare market Logica focuses on increasing the quality of services at lower structural costs. The emphasis is on process optimisation, digitisation, architecture and security of sensitive and personal information. Logica works within the ecosystem to help healthcare organisations deliver improved patient care to citizens.
Orion Health looks forward to new opportunities in the Dutch market and continued collaboration with Logica. "The challenges and opportunities presented by the Dutch healthcare market provide the ideal setting for Orion Health and Logica to bring not only their individual expertise, but proven track record of working collaboratively with healthcare organizations. The joint solution will allow easy and accurate digital exchange of pertinent patient information which will in turn enhance the quality of care across the region" says Charles Scatchard, President of International for Orion Health.
