MEDITECH and BridgeHead Software Installation: The Farrer Park Hospital – Singapore
January 2013 by Marc Jacob
In November of 2011 The Farrer Park Company (TFPC) of Singapore and MEDITECH Australia executed a contract to install a full MEDITECH EHR Solution into their landmark and innovative integrated hub for wellness and healthcare - a first in Asia. Integrated Backup and Disaster recovery solutions are a critical cornerstone of the overall framework and thus MEDITECH’s partner, BridgeHead Software, with its 10 years plus experience of working closely with MEDITECH and its customers on integrated Backup and Disaster recovery solutions, was the perfect fit.
Work on the project is progressing according to schedule with the software load and Backup solutions now complete. “During the install of the MEDITECH software and BridgeHead Backup solutions the BridgeHead staff worked tirelessly along side the MEDITECH staff ensuring the install and initial testing ran according to schedule, reaffirming why BridgeHead remains the preferred backup solution for MEDITECH and their customers,” says Douglas Murray, General Manager of MEDITECH Australia.
About Farrer Park Hospital:
To functionally interlace a hospital and hotel represents a huge challenge but also a tremendous opportunity to create a potentially historic shift in medical practice and patient care. Farrer Park Hospital is one of the first private hospitals to be built ground-up in Singapore after 30 years. As a wholly new development, it is able to incorporate and effectively integrate the tremendous advances in hospital design and medical technology that have transformed healthcare in the past three decades.
As such, Farrer Park Hospital is well-equipped to deliver the best medical outcomes to patients from 11 operating theatres, 3 day-surgery units with a total of 60 attached beds, a 23-bed Intensive Care Unit with state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging services, 3 endoscopy suites, a radiotherapy department, clinical laboratories, a full-service pharmacy and the most advanced implementation of hospital information technology.
