CSAM looks for break into UK market
- 5 May 2010
CSAM, the Norwegian specialist in hospital systems integration, has announced it will target the UK health market with its clinical information portal.
The company has launched its CSAM Plexus clinical information portal and integration engine, a web based portal that integrates with existing systems to enable patient information to be viewed from a unified point of access.
CSAM has already deployed the system across a number of large hospitals in Norway and Sweden, including at Oslo’s national Rikshopitalet where the portal has been used to integrate more than 20 systems.
Glenn Kenneth Bruun, chief innovation officer at CSAM, said: “I truly believe the portal approach to connecting systems may be the only viable route to creating joined-up healthcare delivery. By giving clinicians the latest and the fullest picture, clinical information portals will save time, improve clinical productivity and patient safety, and give the patient a better experience.”
“Plus at a time when budgets are tighter than ever, seeking to replace everything within one system is simply not a viable, affordable alternative.”
The company claims that that the system will also allow for integration between social and mental health organisations enabling the sharing of information across departments, clinics and other hospitals.
CSAM will also introduce its Partus maternity system, which can be linked to electronic patient records and medical equipment to provide real-time support through the maternity process and post natal care. It will also provide its OncoSuite, a modular based system that facilitates the sharing of information through the treatment of cancer patients.
James Ormonde, UK sales & marketing director for CSAM, said: “Having already established reference sites in three countries and two continents, our technology is proven and tested so we know our solutions can address the policy challenges and issues the UK healthcare system currently faces.
“To rise to the stringent efficiency programmes, trusts are realising that they have to look at new ways of working and that innovative technology is key to achieving this. It’s about doing more with less and meeting the needs of healthcare staff, the organisation and most importantly the patient and our solutions can do just that.”
