InterSystems Takes Healthcare IT Leadership Position in France
Global Leader in Healthcare Acquires
Siemens Health Services
SYDNEY, Aust. — September 5, 2011– InterSystems
Corporation, today announced the strategic
acquisition of Siemens Health Services (SHS) France from
its Siemens parent company. SHS, a long-term leader
in the delivery of healthcare solutions to hospitals in
France, will now operate as “InterSystems SAS”. This
acquisition moves InterSystems into a strong position in
France, which is one of the world’s top five healthcare IT
markets by revenue, and marks the entry of InterSystems
TrakCare™ advanced clinical applications into this market.
Paul Grabscheid, InterSystems Vice President for Strategic
Planning said, “SHS is well respected for its proven
Clinicom™ administration and billing system for
hospitals. The 60+ hospitals running Clinicom
include some of the most advanced users of healthcare IT
in the country. This initiative brings to France
InterSystems’ global healthcare experience and proven
TrakCare software, which complements and extends the
capabilities of Clinicom.”
TrakCare is employed by leading institutions in 25
countries, with implementations that range from single
hospitals to region wide, fully integrated healthcare
networks serving millions of patients. In France,
Clinicom and TrakCare will be combined to form a complete
administrative and clinical system that is optimised for
French care delivery policies and practices. This
combination is facilitated by the facts that both products
run on InterSystems CACHÉ® database technology
and that the two organisations have worked together as
partners for more than a decade.
“This acquisition significantly expands the choices
available to our customers,” Grabscheid continued.
“They will continue to benefit from the investments they
have made in Clinicom, which we will continue to enhance
and support; they can take advantage of the breakthrough
clinical capabilities in TrakCare to enhance the safety,
effectiveness and efficiency of the care they provide for
patients; and they can utilise the connected healthcare
technologies of InterSystems HealthShare™ to link systems
and people within their organisation or across a community
or region.”
InterSystems SAS will focus on hospitals in the public
sector, which accounts for 62% of the overall French
hospital market. The SHS private healthcare business
will be sold to WEB100T, a Merignac, France-based company
with a strong track record in this sector. The sale
to Web100T is expected to close in several months,
following the completion of the required legal processes.
InterSystems is the global leader in breakthrough
solutions for connected care, with major electronic health
record projects under way in multiple countries including
Sweden, Scotland, England, Chile, Brazil and United
States.
