LCM Health Care expands partnership with iSOFT

Little Company of Mary Health Care Ltd (LCM Health Care) of Australia and global healthcare software company iSOFT have signed an agreement to deliver a common patient management solution across the entire hospital group.

LCM Health Care is a Catholic not-for-profit healthcare provider delivering a broad range of health and aged care services in five states and territories across Australia.

The agreement will see St Luke’s Private Hospital Launceston (Calvary Health Care Tasmania), St Vincent’s Hospital Launceston (Calvary Health Care Tasmania) and Calvary Healthcare Sydney – Hurstville Community (Hurstville, NSW) implement iSOFT’s Patient Management Solution, adding to the existing six sites which are already benefiting from this solution.

This latest agreement also includes the purchase of iSOFT’s Pharmacy Solution and additional patient management functionality to support the Palliative Care services at Calvary Health Care Bethlehem, Melbourne. It also facilitates the adoption of LCM Health Care’s corporate strategic objective to install standards nationally.

Said LCM Health Care National Chief Financial Officer, David Logan: “iSOFT is our corporate partner of choice for patient management solutions.

“iSOFT’s track-record and success with us puts them in good stead. The Patient Management Solution allows us to better manage the delivery of care and consolidate the management of our information technology. We have been closely involved with iSOFT as a partner from the planning right through to successful implementation and we are delighted to expand the product coverage to our more recently acquired facilities.”

iSOFT Australia and New Zealand Managing Director Nigel Lutton said: “We are delighted to expand our existing partnership with LCM Health Care to these new facilities and new solutions. The success of our Patient Management Solution within LCM Health Care demonstrates not only the flexibility and scalability of our solution, but also the benefits of working closely in true partnership. The team at LCM Health Care has been proactively involved in the implementation right from the very beginning, and this ownership is reflected in the successes achieved to date.”
