HONG KONG, Jan. 4 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Lincor Solutions has been awarded the contract to deliver its clinical computing and digital entertainment solution at 300 beds within St. Paul's Hospital, Hong Kong. This first phase, expected to go live in early 2010, will extend to an additional 256 bedsides as part of a second phase due for completion by the end of next year.
Lincor's MEDIVista solution will provide authorised staff at St. Paul's with secure, real-time access to a range of clinical tools and patient data such as PACS imaging (including CT scans and x-rays) and electronic patient records. Furthermore, patient safety is secured using barcode scanning technology to match patients to medication. Lincor's software also provides patients with electronic meal ordering and a wealth of entertainment services including digital free-to-air and HD TV channels; movies on demand; radio; and interactive gaming.
"We chose Lincor because their solution offered us the most comprehensive answer to our needs together with their track-record in delivering end-to-end solutions at other global multi-discipline hospitals," commented Samuel Cheung, General Manager at St. Paul's Hospital. "The proven stability and reliability of the MEDIVista technology platform is paramount as we can now confidently transition toward bedside computing and incorporate it at the heart of our clinical staff's daily routine, whilst ensuring a greater care experience for patients."
"What is really unique about Lincor's MEDIVista solution is our in-built charging technology meaning St. Paul's can begin realising an ROI once the system goes live," commented Richard Cooke, CEO for Lincor Solutions. "At the end of a patient's stay, St. Paul's will be able to integrate a record of entertainment services the patient has used into the hospital's internal billing system enabling charges to be presented in the patient's final bill."
