LORENZO Solutions
The reason for LORENZO’s success is simple. Regardless of organisation or care setting, LORENZO can be used to create solutions that support every major activity in healthcare. The depth and range of these solutions can effect fundamental changes to healthcare providing organisations and the citizens they serve.

All of these solutions do more than simply automate or replicate existing practices. They make it possible to transform traditional roles and responsibilities, furthering collaboration and cooperation across multiple care settings.

LORENZO Solutions are designed to be easy to use, minimising the need to retrain thousands of employees. Similar concepts apply to solutions aimed at citizens. Consumers can now use intuitive web-based interfaces to view secure, personalised information on their ailments, educating them on symptoms and the implications of drugs that have been prescribed to treat them.

As healthcare economies evolve, and the needs of populations continue to change, iSOFT is developing and enhancing its existing catalogue of more than 100 solutions, and adding new ones in anticipation of emerging market requirements.

Managing diabetes
Lucy Chong takes insulin daily to manage diabetes. She has been prescribed a stock of insulin to last for one month. Each time she self-administers insulin she records this on a personalised web page. When Lucy gets down to a week’s supply, she is reminded, via SMS or email, to activate her repeat prescription.

Lucy can also seek advice from a personalised web page, which offers contact numbers and email addresses for her family doctor or on-call nurses who can respond immediately to any enquiry.

They can also monitor information on the web page, making sure that Lucy sticks to the correct treatment schedule. Major variations are reported automatically to her family doctor.

Lucy uses an electronic diary to record her own experiences, creating a journal that can be used as a symptom diary for future reference. The diary can also be used to remind her of an appointment or other key events.
