News points
Salmaniya Medical Complex, Bahrain, the government healthcare institution managed by the Ministry of Health, Bahrain in Manama, has invested in Infor to help improve service, support and clinical delivery to patients.
Azimuth, Infor's partner focused on deploying solutions on Infor EAM for the healthcare market in the Middle East, will provide the entire Ministry with a new Biomedical Engineering solution, based on Infor's Enterprise Asset Management system, which will manage over 150,000 medical devices, including Syringe Pumps and MRI Scanners distributed throughout the country.
Utilizing a combination of Barcodes, RFID Tags and Real Time Tags, the system will deliver a paperless engineering management solution for biomedical engineers and total asset visibility for the Ministry's clinical and administrative teams.
Once fully deployed, adding Staff and Patient tags, the solution will manage and monitor the provision of care, enabling Senior Clinical Staff to manage their resources more effectively empowered by immediately available, accurate and real time information.
The operational and fiscal benefits to be gained by the Ministry from the implementation of Infor EAM in their hospitals and medical center provides a solution that enables the effective use of data and, together, solve a previously intractable problem.
