An eTHIS solution for Gleneagles

TechCentral: Kompakar Inc Bhd’s healthcare solutions unit, Kompakar eHealth Tech Sdn Bhd, has signed a RM1.5mil deal to implement its Total Hospital Information System (eTHIS) at Gleneagles Medical Centre, Penang.
The venture is Kompakar’s first with the Gleneagles hospital chain, owned by Singapore’s Parkway Holdings Ltd. The deal comes on the back of some RM20mil in contracts from hospitals in Malaysia, according to company officials.
Looi Kien Leong, Kompakar deputy executive chairman, said these hospitals included the Pantai Group of Hospitals, the Putrajaya Hospital and Putrajaya Clinic.
"Kompakar currently has a growing presence in the implementation of hospital information systems in private hospitals nationwide," he said.
Ronald Koh, general manager of Gleneagles Medical Centre Penang, said the hospital selected Kompakar's eTHIS solution because of its solid track record and internationally recognised software development capabilities.
eTHIS is designed to enhance patient care process. Its messaging mechanism simplifies administrative process and provides secure patient data retrieval solution that will assist medical practitioners to attend to patients more effciently, said Looi.
Looi said Kompakar eHealth Tech has also implemented eTHIS at hospitals in Singapore, Thailand, China and Indonesia
