Further NHS Contract Wins worth £0.4m

Ideagen PLC (AIM: IDEA), a leading supplier of Information Management software to highly regulated industries, is pleased to announce two important NHS contract wins in Birmingham worth a combined first year value of £0.4m.

Contract Win with the Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust

The Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust ("the Trust") which comprises Heartland Hospital, Solihull Hospital, Good Hope Hospital and Birmingham Chest Clinic has selected dart/KW, the Group's electronic medical record solution, and dart/OCM, the Group's order communications solution.

The Trust offers a comprehensive range of acute hospital based services to over one million patients annually. With the use of dart/KW and dart/OCM the Trust will be able to implement electronic medical records ("eMRec") to bring all their locations together into one integrated repository and provide robust links to GPs' surgeries for the ordering of laboratory services.

Contract Win with The Birmingham Children's NHS Foundation Trust

Birmingham Children's NHS Foundation Trust has selected Patient First, the Group's Emergency Department (ED) solution. Birmingham Children's Hospital provides the widest range of children's health services for young patients from Birmingham and the West Midlands, with over 240,000 patient visits every year. Of these 240,000 patient visits per annum, over 50,000 are Emergency Visits. Patient First will provide effective management of patient pathways and efficient support for the treatment of patients throughout the ED cycle.

David Hornsby, Chief Executive, commented: "I am delighted that the Group has been selected to deliver critical capability to these two important NHS Trusts. The NHS remains an extremely strong market for the Group as the Government's strategy for a paperless NHS by 2018 gathers real momentum. These deals represent further validation of the Group's strategy and we expect to announce further NHS contract wins in the near future."
