iSOFT Group Limited (ASX:ISF) Agrees On A A$2 Million Deal With ACT Health, Australia

Sydney, Mar 31, 2010 AEST (ABN Newswire) - iSOFT Group Limited (googlechartASX:ISF), Australia's largest listed health information technology company, today announced a contract worth more than A$2 million with ACT Health in Australia for new patient and emergency software applications at Calvary Public Hospital.

The agreement is for the installation of iSOFT Patient Management and iSOFT Emergency at the 280-bed Calvary Hospital this year. About A$900,000 of the total consists of license fees. The agreement also has an additional component for support and maintenance.

The deal follows the roll out of similar solutions at Canberra Hospital and across community health initiatives in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), and meets ACT Health's goal of providing integrated patient care across all services. Emergency department specialists, who routinely work at both the Calvary and Canberra hospitals, will benefit from a common system.

"iSOFT's ten-year association with ACT Health is a huge testament to the quality of our applications and service and the dedication of our people," said Denis Tebbutt, Managing Director of iSOFT Australia and New Zealand.

Owen Smalley, ACT Health's Chief Information Officer, said iSOFT's solutions are the foundation for fully integrated healthcare services and are fundamental for actively improving efficiency and the quality of care services. "Giving doctors and clinical staff instant access to accurate patient information anywhere across our acute and community settings will help improve patient care significantly," Smalley said.
