Lessons learned at the Canadian-run military hospital in Kandahar, Afghanistan could help surgeons prepare for civilian disasters, according to a London, Ontario physician who has served two tours at the hospital. Dr. Vivian McAlister is a professor in the Department of Surgery at the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry at The University of Western Ontario and a general surgeon at the London Health Sciences Centre. He spent two months working at the Kandahar hospital in 2007 as a civilian surgeon before joining the Canadian Forces and doing a second tour at the hospital this past winter.

Siemens To Provide 37 Hospitals And 300 Clinics In South Africa With Healthcare IT Software

The implementation of the Siemens hospital information system is a significant part of the Gauteng DoH"s overall objective to create a single electronic health record for patients across the province and to eliminate paper-based workflow. The core of the solution is Soarian MedSuite, an integrated hospital information system which proactively manages the clinical, financial and administrative process from beginning to end. As a result, hospitals and clinics are able to increase efficiency, productivity and quality of care across the healthcare enterprise. "A primary benefit of the Siemens hospital information system is that once a patient"s details have been captured and stored, they can be shared across the hospital"s departments as well as with other hospitals and clinics in the region," said Graham Maritz, CEO of Siemens Healthcare in South Africa. "Once in place within the hospital network, Soarian MedSuite will help optimize processes such as registration, admissions, discharge, billing, medical records management and enterprise-wide multi-re scheduling." The Gauteng DoH has assigned the BAOKI consortium, which includes AMEtHST (a local joint venture formed by two of Siemens" leading value-added resellers) and Equiton Investment Corporation, to implement the Siemens hospital information system province-wide. As a subcontractor, Siemens will provide the IT software component. The installation of the system in the 704-bed Sebokeng Hospital, which was chosen as a pilot site by the Gauteng DoH, was completed within seven months in August 2008 as the solution offered flexibility to configure the business processes of the hospital. In addition to the hospital information system, Siemens Healthcare will be providing a radiology information system to some hospitals which fall under the Gauteng DoH. The radiology departments of those hospitals will be able to use the system to manage patient visits, schedule and track diagnostic procedures, store diagnoses and results, and send billable items to billing systems.
