ISoft business wins

ISoft has announced it has done A$7m (€4m) worth of business in Australia and New Zealand.

The company’s latest agreements include a state-wide roll out of iPM in Tasmania and a “strategic foothold” in the Council of Australian Governments’ GP super clinics national programme.

IPM is already being installed in Tasmania’s public hospitals under a contract won in February last year. The roll out will now be extended to community care under a five year licensing and support contract worth A$900,000 (€513,000) initially.

Meanwhile, Balance! Healthcare has selected iSoft’s Monet primary care solution for its Blue Mountains and Cairns super clinics in a deal worth A$250,000 for 80 users. The national programme aims to create 31 super clinics across the continent.

Other business announcements from the company include a NZ$5.2m (€2.3m) support and maintenance deal with four New Zealand health boards using its patient administration system and a NZ$500,000 (€230,000) package of enhancements for other district health boards.

iSoft has also signed an agreement to provide a regional pharmacy system to three district health boards in Aukland and a medicines reconciliation system with Taranaki district health board worth NZ$730,000 (€330,000). ISoft will install software developed by Hatrix, a Canberra-based software company that it acquired in April.

ISoft is Australia’s largest listed health information technology company. It is one of the major suppliers to England’s National Programme for IT in the NHS and is also active in a number of European markets, particularly Germany, where it has recently won a number of contracts to supply its Lorenzo software to GP clinics.
