iSOFT wins accreditation in Scotland | ||||||
|
iSOFT has achieved the Scottish Enhanced Functionality (SEF) accreditation, an important step towards reinforcing its commitment to the Scottish primary care market. iSOFT’s Synergy Enterprise application for GPs and other primary care providers was tested in six key areas of functionality including serial dispensing, emergency care summary, diabetes and nurse prescribing. The next planned development will be to gain e-pharmacy accreditation in August along with GP2GP testing. Since April 2005, Scottish GPs have been able to change IT system providers from the historic GPASS IT system for primary care under a deal announced by the Scottish Executive Health Department (SEHD). The SEHD insists that GPs must only move to accredited solutions. Long-term objectives for the deal include a move toward integrating primary and secondary care systems for which iSOFT can offer a proven hosted solution. The future Scottish-wide electronic health record rollout matches the goals for LORENZO, iSOFT’s strategic core application. Benefits include cost savings as GP practices will need less on-site support due to a centrally hosted system. For further information, please contact: |
