  System C delivers hospital systems to Isle of Man on time and within budget


System C Healthcare plc is delighted to announce that its major IT project
computerising the Isle of Man's hospital services has gone live on time and
within budget.

Working closely with the local hospital team, the company has installed its
MedWay patient management system - including its Patient Administration System
(PAS), Accident and Emergency system, the Care Records maternity system and the
HealthData Manager data warehouse - at the Nobles and Ramsay Cottage Hospitals
in just eight months. Over 1,300 users have received training and the system
includes integrated links to hospital legacy systems using the Rhapsody
integration engine.

The integrated systems went live on the exact date agreed with the Isle of Man
at the outset of the contract and without any contract change notices.

A key part of the project was a complex programme of business change across a
number of operational services in Nobles Hospital. Support work for staff is
ongoing as the team continues to refine business processes in response to
feedback from staff and patients.

The company won the contract with the Isle of Man Government Department of
Health and Social Security (DHSS) earlier last year. This hospital deployment is
the first phase of the contract to install software solutions throughout the
island's hospital and community services, providing a fully integrated Clinical
Care Support Service (CCSS) serving all care settings.

"It is never easy choosing IT systems from demonstrations and procurements, but
the MedWay solution has given us everything we were looking for", said Roger
Godfrey, Consultant Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon at Nobles Hospital and
clinical lead for the programme. "During the procurement System C told us what
the system would do, how much it would cost and when it would be installed and
that is exactly what they have delivered".

Sue Jones, Service Development Director at System C and programme director for
this project said: "These systems are complex to install and require a real
partnership between suppliers and the health service teams. The people on the
ground have responded magnificently and we are delighted with their contribution
and with the relationships we have built."

Ian Denley, System C's Chief Executive Officer, added: "We are investing heavily
in the development of our MedWay Electronic Patient Record systems and they are
a key part of our plans moving forward. I am delighted that the Isle of Man
system has gone live."
