iSoft, a leading Australian company providing healthcare IT solutions, announced that it has signed a new agreement with CliniWorks, a US-based healthcare IT marketing company, in order to distribute iSoft’s AccelFind software to hospitals and healthcare facilities throughout the world.
AccelFind allows its users to extract medical knowledge from any form or type of data. The knowledge can be obtained from sources such as free text notes, discharge summaries or other forms of data such as those available in electronic medical records (EMR). The recently-signed agreement will include iSoft offering its AccelFind among its Life Sciences solution, and it will provided under the ‘Powered by CliniWorks’ banner.
Dr. Joerg Kraenzlein, director for life sciences, iSoft, said “This is a tremendous opportunity to accelerate clinical research in a so far unprecedented way. [It will] tap into new areas of treatment options and value propositions that have the potential to change the way we perform medicine and use healthcare IT today.”
iSoft has already made a deal with Cytolon, a German personalized medication company, in order to integrate AccelFind into its web-based platform that includes product search and matching-to-patient. The medical knowledge extract tool will permit hospitals to extract and use clinical information with no consideration to their deployed database system. Dr. Michael Dahlweid, chief medical officer, iSoft, explained “Life Sciences is a new strategic asset of iSoft’s solution portfolio with a huge growth potential. It perfectly fits our Smart Solution approach, which provides instant value to existing and new customers.”
