LORENZO delivering the future of healthcare
Re-engineering the healthcare supply chain
We believe that the same principles that have revolutionised the supply chain in other sectors can be applied to healthcare. Retailers, bankers, manufacturers and other service providers have re-engineered the processes that connect organisations, individual consumers and data. This radical new way of doing business is enabled by innovative technologies, which support the exchange of information across global networks.
This revolution has been endorsed by citizens who increasingly consume goods and services delivered via connected devices from desktop computers and digital television, to mobile phones and PDAs.
iSOFTs overall strategy is to bring the benefits of this approach to healthcare. Our revolutionary solution, LORENZO, is the key to this approach.
LORENZO is highly flexible. It can be used to assemble solutions that support every major activity in healthcare. Significantly, these solutions do more than simply automate or replicate existing practices. They make it possible to transform traditional roles and responsibilities, furthering collaboration and increasing efficiency across the entire healthcare supply chain.
For healthcare professionals, administrators and governments LORENZO is the answer to the urgent questions at the heart of healthcare today. Accurate, on-demand information supports the delivery of more timely, effective and convenient care. In addition, LORENZO supports the appropriate re-distribution of workloads from acute services into more efficient local settings, such as community care.
Endorsed by governments and technology leaders
LORENZO also supports healthcare provider organisations as they strive to extend the lifespan and value of existing system investments. Based on international standards and highly interoperable, open technologies, LORENZO can be introduced incrementally as part of a carefully planned process that enables the retirement of legacy systems in an evolutionary fashion.
Governments and healthcare provider organisations world-wide have put LORENZO at the heart of healthcare reform. LORENZO was selected as one of the principal applications for deployment in the UK NHS National Programme for IT. It will support and connect the healthcare information of 30 million citizens on a single system.
