US-based information technology provider InterSystems recently highlighted the latest benefits that hospitals have realised from its TrakCare system, ranging from enhancing the quality of care to significant cost savings achieved.

The firm held a conference in Dubai for users of its TrakCare healthcare information system, which was attended by over 200 hospital executives and clinicians.

The conference also featured a number of engaging workshops focused on future trends in healthcare IT, such as the importance of patient engagement.  

A notable highlight from the event was the case study on the ‘Journey towards achieving HIMSS EMRAM stage 7’ presented by King Khaled Eye Specialist Hospital (KKESH), from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. KKESH is the first and only hospital in the Middle East to achieve this global recognition, said the company.

Michel Amous, regional managing director, Middle East and India at InterSystems, commented: “The Middle East is a key market for InterSystems TrakCare, and we have been delivering on our capabilities and promises. This year’s TrakCare Customer Meeting has been a resounding success and we are encouraged by the great success stories presented by our customers.”

InterSystems TrakCare has recently been awarded ‘Best in KLAS’ for Global (non-US) Acute EMR. TrakCare enables coordinated care within a hospital or across care settings throughout a region, and is currently used in over 25 countries across the globe. Clinicians and administrators use TrakCare to improve safety and outcomes and control costs, for example, by eliminating duplicate tests. –TradeArabia News Service
