Jurong Health Awards “myHealth Sentinel” Medical Device Integration Project in Singapore
Singapore (PRWEB) November 28, 2013 -- myHealth Sentinel Pte Ltd (mHS), a Singapore-based company, announced today that it has been selected by Jurong Health Services (JurongHealth) to implement a Medical Device Integration (MDI) solution for its 700-bed Ng Teng Fong General Hospital and 400-bed Jurong Community Hospital, which will open in end 2014 and 2015 respectively.
MDI software is used to integrate the torrent of data produced by the many medical devices within the hospitals (anaesthesia unit, intra-aortic balloon pump, dialysis machines, ventilators, etc) with JurongHealth’s Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system. The automated collection of data improves the timeliness and accuracy of the data within EMR by eliminating transcription errors and time wasted by the traditional practice to manually record measurements onto paper charts and into hospital records – thus enabling healthcare staff to spend more time caring for their patients.
myHealth Sentinel is partnering with iSirona, based in Panama City, Florida, USA, to deliver the MDI solution for JurongHealth. iSirona is the #1 ranked MDI provider in the industry (per KLAS surveys) for the past 2 consecutive years and has been acclaimed as one of the most promising and fastest growing companies by “Forbes” and “INC” magazines.
“We are pleased to partner JurongHealth as their MDI solutions provider. The scalable integration platform by iSirona will enable JurongHealth to add new capabilities and provide seamless and integrated care for the community in the west”, said Mr William Chew, Managing Director and co-founder of myHealth Sentinel.
