French hospital group gets UltraGenda

The largest private hospital group in France – Générale de Santé – has signed a deal with UltraGenda to help it improve scheduling, reporting and efficiency across its hospitals.

The group will implement UltraGenda Pro, UG Track Pro and UG Contracts Store across its 60 hospitals over the next three years.

The implementation will allow planning in UltraGenda Pro to be carried out based on orders and requests.

These are registered in the hospital’s the clinical system, Hospital Manager, provided by French company Softway Médical and are automatically made available in UltraGenda Pro.

Additional information such as planned admissions, known allergies, and infections are also passed on to UG Pro via HL7 messages.

The information is then made available in UG Track Pro, for rescheduling and follow up providing an operating program that can be drawn up for the next day for the surgeons, anesthetists, nursing staff, and the operating rooms.

The implementation of UG Contacts Store will allow the hospital to collect data systematically and produce real time reports on operating room activity from the data warehouse which are required under French law.

The store is fed permanently from UltraGenda Pro and UG Track Pro and the data can be disclosed, analysed and shared by using business intelligence software.

Belgian company, UltraGenda was acquired by iSoft earlier this year for £9.3m (€10.6m). The company’s software is used Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Switzerland and the UK.
