The Podkarpacie Healthcare Information System (PHIS), developed in partnership with Asseco, is a modern web portal for gathering, analyzing, and sharing information regarding healthcare services that were provided or are scheduled for provision. In other words, patients can use it to find information online about the scope and availability of services provided at a doctors’ practice or at a hospital. They can also schedule an appointment with a chosen practitioner, as well as keep track of all registrations, which gives them real-time information regarding the number of patients scheduling an appointment with a particular practitioner. The platform enables the registered healthcare facilities to exchange information electronically. This ensures that all patient data will be accessible across all facilities within the PHIS in the Podkarpacie Province.How does it work?
In order to use the PHIS simply visit the platform’s website (https://psim.podkarpackie.pl/), and register in just a few steps. You will only need an active e-mail account and a mobile phone number. After registration is done you’ll have to confirm your data during a visit to a healthcare facility.Even without an active account, the system provides a simple and transparent list of services and healthcare facilities. You can find a specific hospital, get its contact details, information on its specialization, as well as all services provided there, its list of practitioners of a chosen specialization, and free appointment times for the provision of a particular service.You can also set up an account for a minor. This means parents can easily arrange an appointment for their children, and cancel it if need be. They can also keep up to date with all the scheduled appointments. Most importantly, providing your mobile phone number during registration means you will receive a free text message reminding you about the scheduled appointment a few days in advance.

Adam Góral: The ‘Constitution for Business’ is a package of laws which has been expected by the Polish entrepreneurs community for quite some time. The presumption of entrepreneur’s honesty, friendly reading of the law, and resolving factual doubts in favor of entrepreneurs are among the things all organizations fought for, including the Podkarpacki Business Club represented by me, across the past 27 years.CEO of Asseco also took part in the discussion on unlocking foreign markets for Polish manufacturers. Together with CEO of PESA S.A Tomasz Żaboklicki and Karol Zarajczyk – President of the Board of Ursus S.A. – Góral talked about the ways to open the doors to foreign markets for Polish manufacturers, as well as how Polish government can co-operate with businesses to secure foreign contracts for Polish entrepreneurs.In his speech Góral also encouraged paying taxes in Poland and thanked all the participants for coming to the Podkarpacie province, which – thanks to its hard work, patience and the ability to utilize EU funds – has taken advantage of the 27 years of economic freedom.This was the first edition of Kongres 590 and it was visited by more than two thousand guests. The conference took its name from the barcode prefix which is used to mark goods produced or distributed by Polish companies.

Asseco Group published its financial results for the first three quarters of 2016 on 17 November. Group revenues stood at PLN 5.7bn, which is PLN 613m more (up by 12%) than in the same period in 2015. This is mainly due to significantly larger sales on foreign markets, which are becoming increasingly important for the Group results - 79% of its revenues in recent quarters have been generated outside Poland. Israeli companies reported a particularly high growth in revenues – they improved their results by 18% year over year and reported PLN 3.2bn in revenues in the first three quarters of 2015. Company results are characterized by very good revenue diversification, both in regional as well as sectoral terms; 39% is atributed to the financial sector, 40% - to the corporate sector, and 21% - to the public administration sector. Selling its proprietary solutions remains Asseco’s business and development strategy foundation. It generated more than PLN 4.6bn in the recenet period – thisrepresents 81% of total revenues.Adam Góral, President of the Board of Asseco Poland: We are pleased with Asseco Group financial results for the first three quarters of 2016. The Group reported, among others, record-high revenues – over PLN 5.6bn. Our international operations are constantly developing, and a highly diversified business sector provides us with great stabilization. First three quarters of 2016 also saw us focus on further reorganization of the Group's structure in Poland and abroad, in order to operate more effeciently and dynamically.Further reorganization of the Asseco Group’s structure in national and international markets marked the third quarter of 2016. As of 1 July 2016 there are four companies within the Group framework – Asseco Poland, Asseco Business Solutions, Asseco Data Systems and DahliaMatic. Past months have seen intense work on their integration at the operational level, and an even better adaptation to market requirements. Tender offer for the shares of Asseco Central Europe was also an important event. Acquisition of 100 per cent of shares in ACE will enable the plan of delisting the company to go forward. This, in turn, will facilitate decision making regarding further development of ACE, and reduce costs associated with disclosure requirements relating to public companies.

Asseco was the general partner of a conference that preceded the award ceremony. It provides a platform for discussion on innovative IT solutions for the financial market and the challenges facing the digital economy. Guests included representatives of the banking sector, independent experts, and suppliers of cutting-edge IT Technologies. Zbigniew Pomianek, Vice President of Asseco Poland, was also among the invited guests and participated in a panel discussion entitled ‘Time to Market’, alongside Ryszard Drużyński, Vice President of the Management Board of Raiffeisen Bank Poland. In his speech, Asseco VP placed great emphasis on the ‘IT of two speeds’ issue.Zbigniew Pomianek said: On the one hand banks expect a high implementation speed, particularly for e-banking projects. On the other hand, when we’re approaching core systems, they primarily care about safety and stability. We try not to get torn by these two speeds.Ryszard Drużyński added that quick action is important for banks. This is one of the reasons he rates the implementation of Asseco CBP (Customer Banking Platform) at his institution so highly. CBP allows the bank to develop the application on its own, which further shortens the time to market.
As the discussion unfolded, the speakers talked about the possibilities of using the cloud in the banking sector. Pomianek said that Asseco uses it heavily already, offering services within the SaaS model to cooperative banks. In addition, using a cloud solution reduces the implementation time to several days. However, he stressed that this applies to standard solutions. For solutions dedicated to a particular customer the ‘time to market’ has to increase so that all functionalities are properly implemented.

The awards were presented during a gala ceremony held in Warsaw on October 28.
