IBA Health (ASX:IBA) To Provide Hospital Information System to Kingdom Of TongaTuesday March 18 1:44 PMThe agreement with IBA comprises initial licence and service fees of $574,000 together with support and maintenance fees of over $95,000 in the first year. The new system is being installed at the 190-bed Vaiola Hospital in Tonga's capital Nuku'alofa and is targeted to be fully operational by March 2009. Central to the new HIS is the company's web-based patient administration system (web-PAS) with modules for outpatients, inpatients, medical records, theatres, maternity, A&E, billing, and results reporting. The solution, a key component of Tonga's Health Sector Support, will give doctors and other carers at the Vaiola Hospital, three district hospitals and outlying health centres and maternity clinics, point-of-care access to vital patient information. The web-based applications enable ready access to patient information. IBA's solution will also improve the Tongan Ministry of Health's capacity to collect, manage and use health information effectively to assist future decision making. IBA is pursuing several opportunities in the Pacific region as preventative health and health promotion have become major priorities for island governments and world health organisations alike. IBA's executive chairman and CEO, Gary Cohen said: 'With an expanding regional presence which provides a unique understanding of the regions needs we are well placed to capitalise on these opportunities both from a geographic and technology perspective.'
