Under the agreement, Montpellier CHRU will become a key reference site for the company and will showcase the company’s patient information systems.

Philippe Blanco, managing director of Agfa HealthCare France said: “This new agreement and the partnership are of strategic important to Agfa Healthcare, not only on the national level but, thanks to the prominence of CHRU, on an international level as well.”

The ORBIS information system enables real time information exchanges between staff throughout the patient pathway. The introduction of the solution is part of a wider project to further streamline and improve the facilities operations.

The system allows also for customised data traceability and collection which will allow the hospitals to develop medical research.

The collaboration is good news for Agfa Healthcare who, at the beginning of the month, revealed that its fourth quarter sales had continued to decrease.

Sales in the company’s healthcare division dropped 2.8% compared to Q4 in 2008.
