iSOFT Group Limited, one of the world’s largest healthcare
information technology companies, today announced that it will
showcase its suite of innovative solutions that focus on
interoperability at the HIMSS health IT conference in Atlanta in the US
from March 1-4, 2010.
“The US market makes up about half of the total global spending on
health IT, which will balloon further as the government’s stimulus
package kicks in”
iSOFT, which last year entered the important US market through its
acquisition of Boston-based technology developer BridgeForward Software
(re-named iSOFT Integration Systems), will at HIMSS demonstrate its
solutions that are designed to address the requirements for ‘Meaningful
Use’ under the US Government’s US$34 billion health IT stimulus package.
A key differentiator of iSOFT in the US market is that it is ranks among
the few global health IT companies whose existing portfolio of solutions
meets the requirements for interoperability across the full spectrum of
today’s complex healthcare environments. iSOFT has 20 years of expertise
and direct engagement with healthcare organizations in some 40 countries
and has cemented its global reputation as an important agent of change
as national healthcare systems around the world undergo transformation.
“The US market makes up about half of the total global spending on
health IT, which will balloon further as the government’s stimulus
package kicks in,” said Gary Cohen, Executive Chairman & CEO. “As one of
the biggest health IT companies in the world, with experience in
connecting complex healthcare systems in Continental Europe and the UK,
iSOFT has the expertise and the capacity to make a real difference as
the US healthcare industry undergoes transformational change. At HIMSS
we will showcase the depth of our expertise and our capacity to help
healthcare organisations to meet the requirements for interoperability
and ‘Meaningful Use’.”
