ESPOO, Finland, June 14, 2002 (PRIMEZONE) -- TietoEnator will deliver a new generation Effica system to the city of Raisio's health care center. The central goal is to support social welfare and health care work based on comprehensive responsibility for the population, developing customer services as well as making local cooperation more effective and the workplace more attractive. The solution will serve both open health care and departmental care in all locations.
"We want to be at the forefront of development when it comes to taking advantage of new technology. Effica aids our goal to offer all city inhabitants improved services, and our employees an advanced working environment. The joint social and health care organization and the recently acquired solution give us a good starting point for simplifying the patient care chain," said Chief Physician Eero Vaissi. "Compressing the cooperation and rationalizing the operations in the direction of the health care district was also central criteria when choosing the system. Effica's electronic referral/feedback procedure supports laboratory and x-ray operations as well as cooperation related to the transfer of case histories, together with the Raisio district hospital and the Turku university hospital," Vaissi continued.
