Dutch hospital extends iSoft contract

The Canisius-Wilhelmina Ziekenhuis Hospital in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, has signed a €3m contract with iSoft for continued support of its hospital information system and electronic patient record for a further three years.

The 650-bed hospital first implemented iSoft’s v2 HIS and Mirador EPR, both of which are specifically designed for the Netherlands, four years ago.

As well as support, the new deal includes an annual €100,000 ‘innovation budget’ to trial and implement new technologies provided by iSoft that will aim to further optimise clinical processes and improve efficiency and quality and reduce costs.

Guido van de Logt, a member of the board at the 650 bed hospital said: “Due to our long standing partnership with iSoft and the superb experience we have made with the offered solutions we have decided to renew the existing contract.

“Additionally the new contract gives us the possibility to leverage new developments and technologies which will make our organization more profitable. I believe that iSoft offers a very promising concept of future hospital IT systems.”

ISoft says that the contract is a major milestone for the company in the Dutch market and shows that the company is recognised as a reliable and innovative partner that offers the right solutions for its customers.
