Orion Health and Oracle are part of the consortium that has launched Singapore's National Electronic Health Record program. The first phase went live in June 2011 after just 10 months, a relatively short space of time given the scale of the project. Orion Health and Oracle are also in the consortium of partners delivering Australia's national PCEHR (Personally Controlled Electronic Health Record) after a successful bid announced earlier this year. These recent success are built on a global relationship with projects around the globe, including, USA, Canada and Spain.

Orion Health's web-based Clinical Portal plays a key part in eHealth infrastructure, for a range of projects, including the high profile technical-stretch projects like Singapore and Australia’s national eHealth rollouts.

Mr Ian Rowe, Global EHR Program Manager of Orion Health, said “Clinical adoption is critical to the success of electronic health records. In Singapore, Australia and other historical implementations the proven combination of Oracle technology and Orion Health solutions, is key to this success.  While the Oracle technology, collects, stores and provides fast, accurate access to data, it is the Orion Health solutions that transform the data into information. The Orion Health Clinical Portal uses sophisticated searching, filtering techniques to target the relevant data and advanced web based graphical tools to transform the data into various views and graphical representations that provide cognitive support to clinicians. This change is transformational as it enables the clinicians to hone in on the patient conditions that are relevant. The focus on information rather than data improves patient care and transforms the way clinicians make decisions and deliver care.

By partnering with companies like Oracle, Orion Health can manage and reduce the complexity of healthcare IT systems to provide complete, open and integrated foundation on which a collaborative healthcare system can be based.

According to Orion Health CEO Ian McCrae, few companies world-wide can match Orion Health ’s track record of implementing such large scale EHR projects.

“We’ve combined 18 years of knowledge, expertise and understanding of healthcare needs with our world class healthcare solutions in sites from Asia, Northern Ireland and Scotland to the Balearic Islands in Spain, provincial solutions in Canada and state-wide solutions in the US.”
