TietoEnator Builds New IT Support for Hospitals in Copenhagen.Business Editors STOCKHOLM, Sweden--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 17, 2000 Last autumn TietoEnator Medical won a procurement The fancy word for "purchasing." The procurement department within an organization manages all the major purchases. competition for new IT- support for hospitals in the Copenhagen region. The solution has now been tested in "live situations" and shows that it comes up to expectations. - We have succeeded in getting the traditional hospital systems to work together with laboratory systems and x-ray X-ray Electromagnetic radiation of extremely short wavelength (100 nanometres to 0.001 nanometre) produced by the deceleration of charged particles or the transitions of electrons in atoms. systems. It is now possible to make diagnoses, book examinations and treatment and get the answers in one and the same sequence, says Christer Bjorkendal, development manager, TietoEnator Medical. The result is presented via a web-application. Last autumn, eleven Danish hospitals arranged a procurement in the form of a competition. The objective was to get the medical care computer systems to work together. - The challenge was to integrate several older systems based on different technical environments and from different manufacturers, says Christer Bjorkendal, development manager, TietoEnator Medical. Economic effects TietoEnator estimates that the hospitals will experience economic and qualitative effects from a new IT system. - The fact that the hospitals have a common infrastructure means that they can co-operate in matters concerning procurements of application support and this gives economic advantages. The solution means that all information is stored and will be available to everyone who has authorisation. A lot of registering is duplicated in different systems today and the information is difficult to access, says Christer Bjorkendal. Eleven Danish hospitals The procurement was organised by eleven Danish hospitals under the guidance of KAS (Kobenhavns Amts Sygehusvaesen) and H:S (Hovedstadens Sygehusfaelleskab). TietoEnator won the competition in collaboration with the Italian company GESI GESI Global Environmental Sanitation Initiative . On March 1, the solution was demonstrated for IT people and politicians in Copenhagen. - We were able to see a solution which shows that the integration is possible. The solution is based on open standards Specifications for hardware and software that are developed by a standards organization or a consortium involved in supporting a standard. Available to the public for developing compliant products, open standards imply "open systems;" that an existing component in a system can be replaced which means that the individual hospitals can be connected at the rate they wish, says Niels Rossing, H:S Director of Informatics Same as information technology and information systems. The term is more widely used in Europe. . During the month of March, H:S estimates that a decision can be made regarding the implementation of TietoEnator/GESI's system. Lars Gahnstrom, manager of TietoEnator's business area Public Sector sees the success in Copenhagen as an acknowledgement that the company is on the right lines: - Our long-term Long-term Three or more years.
