The Infant Jesus Clinical Hospital – Trauma Treatment Center located at W. Lindley Street in Warsaw provides highly specialized outpatient and inpatient health care services, within the framework of medical specialties offered by hospital clinics, wards, units, and surgeries. The Hospital disposes of 683 beds. Its equipment is modern, and its pride is the highly qualified medical staff. Provision of health care services is combined with scientific and educational activities. Students and resident practitioners are educated there. The Hospital is located in the center of Warsaw. It is a multi-profile facility, and traumatic specialties predominate.
The IT solutions applied so far in the Hospital did not make required functionalities available. Majority of them were dedicated entirely to settlement and control of service implementation. In view of the above, a decision has been made to purchase the system covering all areas of Hospital activities, along with the necessary IT equipment. The decision on implementing the investment project was reached in 2007. It included also network modernization. The key objective of implementing the Hospital IT System (Szpitalny System Informatyczny - SSI) was the reduction of administrative costs, resulting from the creation of consistent, uniform, integrated and efficient working environment. That is why the project covered almost all areas of Hospital activities. Improvement in promptness and quality of reporting required by management bodies and paymasters was another expectation.
The contract concluded with the Asseco Poland S.A. covered supply and implementation of the InfoMedica Hospital IT System almost within the whole range of functionalities, covering both white section (medical services), as well as grey section (administrative processes) within the Hospital. Within the framework of project implementation, 56 InfoMedica system modules have been configured and installed, and the Hospital was provided with complete documentation including all user and administrator manuals. The Asseco Poland S.A. carried out also all works relating to supply and installation of equipment and system software, as well as extension and modernization of the whole network within the Hospital area. Following completion of the implementation, the Hospital has been covered with original supervision system. Over 1,000 users access the system via 300 workstations.
