Africa, has selected InterSystems to implement HealthShare Unified Care Record
and HealthShare Patient Index to revolutionise the local healthcare system by
providing unified access to vital patient information for the first time.
HealthShare lets those in the medical industry overcome the
challenges of decentralised data by consolidating information across multiple
stakeholders when requested. The system delivers relevant data from
across an application and business ecosystem, facilitating timely action
through real-time communication.
“This
is the first substantial health data exchange of its kind in Africa and will
dramatically improve South African patient care in the future,” said Henry
Adams, Sales Manager for InterSystems South Africa.

an extensive procurement process by CareConnect, InterSystems was selected as
the preferred technology provider thanks to its proven capabilities in Europe,
especially the UK, and the US,”
Dr

the InterSystems track record of providing HIE services in various regions
around the world.

excited to be partnering with a company that has had global experience in
developing health information exchanges,” he said.
