St. Franziskus Stiftung to deploy, maintain iMDsoft's MetaVision throughout multiple hospitals

iMDsoft announced that St. Franziskus Stiftung in Germany will be implementing MetaVision in the ICUs, IMCs and ORs of four hospitals, in an additional 132 beds. The foundation, located in Münster, is responsible for eleven acute medicine and three specialist hospitals, as well as five institutions for the handicapped and the elderly.

After an extensive selection process, St. Franziskus Stiftung decided that iMDsoft was the best fit with their needs. The foundation was impressed with MetaVision's high level of flexibility, which enables them to adjust the system to support their workflow. St. Franziskus Stiftung already had a positive experience working with MetaVision, having successfully installed the system in two of their hospitals in 2005 and 2008.

St. Franziskus Stiftung will use one database for all four sites: St. Barbara-Klinik Hamm-Heessen, St. Franziskus-Hospital Münster, Krankenhaus St. Joseph-Stift Bremen and St. Bernhard-Hospital Kamp- Lintfort. The database can be localised for each hospital but will be managed centrally from one location, lowering total cost of ownership.

MetaVision is designed to meet the unique challenges of critical care and anaesthesia environments, and provides specialised functionality for these specialised units. The system generates complete and accurate electronic medical records and includes advanced tools for clinical assessment, treatment and care planning. Advanced decision support options promote the delivery of best practices, protocols, and regulatory requirements. MetaVision offers workflow coverage across the entire continuum of care, maintaining a single patient record throughout ICUs, pre-op units, ORs and recovery units.

“We look forward to continuing our productive collaboration with St. Franziskus Stiftung,” said Lars-Oluf Nielsen, CEO of iMDsoft. "With our unique distributed database architecture, St. Franziskus Stiftung will be able to effectively deploy and maintain MetaVision throughout multiple hospitals. iMDsoft has extensive experience automating critical care settings across health networks, resulting in improved and standardised care."
