The Municipal Hospital in Zabrze will carry out informatization based on IT solutions delivered by Asseco Poland. The project aims to improve the comfort of patients through the introduction of modern technologies for daily operations of the medical facility. The contract value is approximately PLN 3 million gross.

Development of e-services at Zabrze hospital will be possible thanks to the implementation of comprehensive IT system called Asseco Medical Management Solutions (AMMS). The project will include over a dozen software modules providing specialized functionalities to support patient admissions and discharges, outpatient clinic, operating block, laboratories and diagnostic workshops, rehabilitation ward, as well as the hospital pharmacy. The system will also facilitate the exchange of information between the hospital’s medical and administrative sections. Moreover, managerial staff at the hospital will obtain a new tool enabling effective management of the facility on the basis of sophisticated analyses.

This complex informatization project will also enable the introduction of Electronic Health Records. Hence, the Hospital in Zabrze will be ready to keep and share medical records in electronic form within the regulatory deadline, this is from 2017.

Digitization of the medical treatment process will also facilitate the work of doctors who, being equipped with clinical tablets, will be able to order medical procedures and access test results basically from any place within the hospital. This is a significant improvement considering that the total number of beds located at the eight hospital wards exceeds 400.

The project is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund, under the Regional Operational Programme of Silesia for the years 2007-2013. The Hospital in Zabrze is not the only medical facility in Silesia that has chosen to use the AMMS solution. In July 2014, the implementation of this system has been started at the State Hospital for the Mentally Ill in Rybnik as well as at the Municipal Polyclinic Hospital in Częstochowa.
