Southern Denmark gets Cosmic with Logica

The region of Southern Denmark has awarded Logica a contract to deliver a new patient administration system.

Logica will provide Cambio’s Cosmic patient administration system, for use all 17 hospitals in Southern Denmark and will help to improve and maintain patient care.

Swedish clinical IT software firm Cambio has already been awarded a €30m contract to provide shared electronic records, using its Cosmic system, under a deal awarded in January.

The Cosmic system to be provided will be deliver a secure information sharing platform, allowing hospitals to electronically share, access and search for critical patient information irrespective of where in the region the patient is located.

The new Logica-provided system will enable the Region of Southern Denmark to provide the best patient care for all of its citizens, meeting a key objective in its transformation strategy.

The Cosmic system is based on open standards and a modern SOA architecture that fits into the region's existing IT infrastructure. Together with the Cosmic electronic patient record system, the solution will cover an integrated suite of healthcare functionality focusing on both the clinical care support and the patient administration, which allows a great freedom in organising the workflow.

The new solution allows online validation and reporting to the National Patient Register, which improves the ability to obtain records in a single workflow.

Martin Petersen, divisional director, Logica, commented on the delivery of the new patient administration system of the region: ” Through the patient administration system, the electronic patient record and planning system will create a clinical workplace to provide ease of access to relevant information about the patient. The patient administration system is the basis for the further development of a reliable infrastructure around clinical IT solutions implemented in the Region of Southern Denmark".
