A contract for laboratory systems at Dr Reising-Ackermann laboratories has been won by iSoft Germany, in a significant step into private laboratory services
The largest private laboratory in eastern Germany, Dr Reising-Ackermann employs over 200 specialists, including 34 physicians, at seven sites.
It serves several hundred general practitioners and more than 40 hospitals with a full range of laboratory-diagnostic services.
iSoft's laboratory management solution LabCentre will help manage workflows within the clinical laboratory, human genetics, blood serology, blood product maintenance and storage, blood donation and microbiology.
Integrated communications provides paperless order entry and results reporting plus real-time access to a common database and test histories.
Peter Herrmann, CEO of iSoft Germany, said: "The introduction of LabCentre at Dr Reising-Ackermann and partner organisations is a crucial step for us into the field of private laboratory services.
"This sector is becoming increasingly important and offers a major opportunity for iSoft to expand its business."
