iSOFT Bags $1 Million EHR Deal from AMRI

A $1 million contract with Advanced Medicare Research Institute (AMRI) Hospitals for an electronic health record (EHR) for six of its hospitals in India has been won by iSOFT, after a competitive tender.

Replacing an outdated hospital information system, iSOFT's Enterprise Management gives AMRI a single, integrated EHR and 700 concurrent users ready access to patient and clinical information to improve efficiency and the quality of care. The solution is being installed at three hospitals now and three more that have yet to be identified by AMRI.

The three hospitals are at Mukundapur, Salt Lake, and Dhakuria, in the state of West Bengal. A decisive factor was iSOFT's proven track record of delivering comparable solutions at four other large hospitals in India, including the Medanta Medicity and Artemis Health Sciences, hospitals both at Gurgaon, Haryana. Its solution was also considered best suited to the needs of modern hospitals. The experience and know-how of working in diverse healthcare settings around the world was another important consideration. The current deal includes software licenses for six hospitals, implementation services for three, and support and maintenance for five years.
