Leading healthcare IT vendor, Orion Health, develops easy-to-use solutions and applications displaying all patient information in one, single, unified view using the Concerto™ Clinical Portal and standards based Rhapsody™ Integration Engine technology.

In the past year Orion Health has celebrated major successes across Europe with a number of high profile new projects underway across the region including: Glasgow and Clyde Health Board, the largest health board in the United Kingdom, covering a population of 1.2 million residents; The Ministry of Health and Consumer Protection of the Balearic Islands (IB Salut); Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust, one of the largest Trusts in England, and South-Eastern Norwegian Regional Health Authority, Norway's largest.

Charles Scatchard, Orion Health’s newly appointed President of International covering the EMEA, India, North Asia and Latin America regions, said: “It’s a great time to take on the role of EMEA President of International. Orion Health is now the number one EHR solution provider as we have more international sites than any other vendor in the market. In the last 12 months we have experienced phenomenal success. We are making excellent progress across Europe and the rest of the EMEA region and we are delighted with the positive response to our Concerto and Rhapsody solutions as part of our leading EHR offering. We have the edge in delivering large-scale integration solutions across multi-site health organisations, as has been the case in Spain and for a number of NHS Trusts in the UK; all of which are already seeing measurable benefits.”

“With public sector cuts high on the agenda across the European healthcare sector, making IT work smarter is key to delivering high quality patient care in the most efficient and cost effective way possible. Orion Health’s solutions are perfectly placed to help achieve this, hence the excellent feedback we have received from our European customer base.”
