International Contract Win

EMIS Group is pleased to announce its first international whole healthcare economy contract, in which the Group will deliver a fully integrated electronic patient record (EPR) for the territory of Gibraltar.

The contract, worth £3.5m over the first 18 months and up to £11.25 million over the full 10 year term, is with the Gibraltar Health Authority (GHA). The project will see the implementation of integrated cross-group systems for use by the health authority's 900 personnel, linking primary care, secondary care, community and mental health services, to assist them in providing seamless care along with an online health and well-being environment.

Minister for Health Dr John Cortes, said: "The system will bring large benefits to the provision of healthcare in Gibraltar, and it marks a new beginning for the GHA.

"It marks a huge milestone in the development of Gibraltar's healthcare and is in keeping with the Government's policy for e-Government."

Chris Spencer, CEO of EMIS Group, said: "This is an exciting project that perfectly demonstrates the Group's connected cross-healthcare capabilities. From GP consultations to emergency treatment and specialist add-on goods and services, our market-leading solutions will enable the GHA to deliver a truly integrated service to patients."
