BT today announced that it has been selected
by The Farrer Park Company, a group of private medical and hospitality
specialists, to be their IT partner for Connexion at Farrer Park, Singapore's
first integrated healthcare and hospitality complex comprising a specialist
medical centre, a private tertiary hospital, and a luxury hotel with
state-of-the-art conference and wellness facilities.
Under
the contract, worth approximately £7 million, BT will provide a comprehensive
range of programme management and systems integration services. It will design,
build and support the entire facility's technology and applications
architecture, bringing together multiple business applications such as the
finance and human resources systems, customer relationship management, queue
management, security solutions, and the hospitality management and healthcare
information systems.
Users
will benefit from a 'single sign-on' which permits them to enter one name and
password to access multiple applications from a variety of devices. This will
allow staff access to information on-the-go, helping to provide quality care to
patients. In addition, digital concierge services will cater for hospital
patients seeking medical treatment and their subsequent recuperation needs, as
well as for hotel guests who are otherwise healthy, but who are looking for
wellness services.
A key
aspect of the overall service includes virtualisation, ensuring that
multidisciplinary care teams can access applications and enter data with ease
while preserving the need for mobility and security.
Dr
Luisa Lee, president & chief executive at The Farrer Park Company, said:
"Connexion at Farrer Park is set to redefine the future of private
healthcare in Singapore. It is a truly unique development which will cement the
country's position as the medical hub of the Asia Pacific region.
"For
such a cutting-edge project as Connexion, it is essential that our IT partner
complements our own experience in this field to help us provide a world class
healthcare facility. BT, with its extensive worldwide experience, is the ideal
fit. We are looking forward to working with them."
Kevin
Taylor, president, BT Asia Pacific, said: "BT is delighted to have been
selected by The Farrer Park Company as their IT partner for this prestigious
and strategically important project. It is particularly exciting to be involved
in such a landmark development which, when completed, will be one of the
leading facilities in the region, if not the world."
"Technology
has an important role to play in helping improve healthcare for patients and
staff alike and, transforming the way patient care is delivered."
"BT
has a long and successful history as a leading supplier of networked IT
services to the healthcare sector. Building on our experience in the UK with
our work with the National Health Service, we are applying this unique
knowledge and expertise globally, especially in the Asia Pacific region."
The
Connexion complex is currently under construction and is expected to be
completed in 2013.
BT was
recently chosen by SERCO to provide The Fiona Stanley Hospital in Western
Australia with a complete suite of ICT services and helping create one of the
most technologically advanced medical facilities in the world.
BT has
also successfully implemented a number of health programmes in Singapore,
Hungary, Australia, France, Spain, and the Netherlands.
