US Firm Signs Cork Medical Deal
US Private hospital operator Sheehan Medical has announced that their latest facility, the Cork Medical Centre, will get Ireland's most high-tech IT system after they awarded the €740,000 contract to Meditech, the provider of health care software based in Boston, Massachusetts.
The new €90m hospital will open in Cork in the summer and will be the first new private hospital facility to open in the city for 30 years.
It will now include Meditech's Health Care Information System (HCIS); which fully integrates the hospital's clinical and financial systems.
The paperless system means that all information related to the patient's care is accessible by any of the team of consultants at hospital, from entry to facility through to completion of treatment and crucially it can also be accessed by all medical practitioners undertaking subsequent external after care, such as GPs or physiotherapists.
Philip Sheehan, Chief Operating Officer of the Cork Medical Centre, said: "We pride ourselves in having the latest technology in all our hospitals and aim to make the Cork Medical Centre the most high-tech hospital ever developed in Ireland.
"The success of this deal marks the next stage of the on-going six year relationship between Sheehan Medical and Meditech; their system will play a key role in providing the very best care for our patients at the new Cork facility."
