HANOI, Vietnam, July 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Orion Health, a global eHealth software company delivering inter-operable solutions for healthcare facilities and organisations, has announced a strategic partnership with VIT Corporation to improve hospital efficiency and to enhance the quality of healthcare by implementing Orion Health solutions to several Vietnamese provinces.

Both groups recently signed a strategic partnership signifying their collaboration to building a long-term integrated health ecosystem in the region. The pilot delivery of the eHealth solutions to hospitals in the public sector will begin in Khanh Hoa province, with this partnership expected to expand across Vietnam in the coming years. There are estimated to be over 1,000 hospitals and thousands of associated commune clinics in the public sector representing well over 75% of untapped market share.

"As a strong presence in the Vietnamese market for 20 years, VIT Corporation has years of industry related experiences and an extensive network of contacts. We will help Orion Health transition into new territories with ease and efficiency. Implementing systems in the Vietnamese market has its challenges, but we are confident that our local know-how coupled with Orion Health's expertise will bring one of the best and most cost-effective eHealth solutions to over 90 million people across the nation," said Nguyen Chi Hieu, Vice President of VIT Corporation.

Currently, the majority of patient clinical information remains stored on paper medical records and is not easily transferable across disparate healthcare organisations. Integrating shared medical records into Vietnamese hospitals is expected to vastly improve workflow and increase the quality of healthcare to patients.  Implementing Orion eHealth solutions will result in better overall hospital management and reduce resource waste and redundancy.

"Orion Health is committed to delivering inter-operable solutions for its patients, and this partnership with VIT Corporation puts us in a strong position to deploy relevant on-site solutions that are effective yet affordable for both the private and public sector. VIT Corporation is well-established and has experience partnering with high-tech start-up companies, and will prove to be an invaluable partner as we seek to enhance the quality of healthcare across Vietnam," said Darren Jones, Senior Vice President - Asia Pacific of Orion Health.
