Asseco to support e-Health in Mazovia

Asseco is going to construct an information and communication network connecting 23 largest hospitals in the Mazovian Province. The company has signed an agreement with the Mazovian Hospital in Bródno, Warsaw that acts as a leader of the “e-Health for Mazovia” project. The net value of the contract exceeds PLN 17 million.

A technologically advanced network to be built by Asseco will provide the basis for further project activities with the objective to implement electronic medical records in Mazovian hospitals, which are supervised by regional authorities, as well as to establish the Center for Economic and Statistical Analysis.

“Our task is to modernize and expand local area networks at 23 medical centers in order to enable fast and secure data transfer among these hospitals,” said Andrzej Dopierała, Vice President of Asseco Poland S.A., and added: “It will also allow for efficient sharing of information during patient treatment processes.”

Under the concluded agreement, Asseco will be responsible, among others, for the design, supply, installation, configuration and deployment of network infrastructure, as well as for the implementation of software.

The key priority of the “e-Health for Mazovia” project is to provide the largest possible number of inhabitants with the possibility of using the Internet as a tool to communicate with doctors, as well as to streamline the work of medical personnel. Furthermore, the project aims to ensure safe and lawful generation, storage and transmission of medical records between hospitals, as well as integration of such resources with the Electronic Platform for Gathering of Information on Medical Procedures P1 which is developed on the national level.

Asseco has extensive experience in projects involving the computerization of healthcare centers. The company created, among others, the Regional Medical Information Center for the Subcarpathian Province. It is the first such a comprehensive regional e-health system implemented in Poland among all integrated software solutions dedicated for the healthcare sector.
