Agfa HealthCare's ORBIS Solution Replaces Existing HIS/CIS at Städtisches Klinikum Karlsruhe

Agfa HealthCare announced that its ORBIS solution will replace the existing HIS/CIS (Hospital Information System/Clinical Information System) in the Städtisches Klinikum Karlsruhe, Germany. The 1500-bed hospital is a German 'maximum-care hospital', with 22 medical departments and four institutes providing care to 57,000 in-patients and 161,000 out-patients every year. Städtisches Klinikum Karlsruhe plans to take ORBIS live in January 2012.
Agfa HealthCare and ORBIS prove themselves during in-field tests
The choice of Agfa HealthCare and ORBIS was determined based on a comprehensive selection procedure. Each competing company presented its solution in a three-day field test in the hospital. Hospital staff was involved in the procedure. "We are very pleased that both our team and our ORBIS system were convincing in the selection process," comments Winfried Post, General Manager for Agfa HealthCare, DACH. "ORBIS' capabilities as a holistic and highly integrated tool for all hospital processes proved its ability to offer support for all medical, administrative and care processes. By choosing ORBIS, the hospital demonstrates its commitment to being an innovative partner in healthcare."
Comprehensive IT solution touching on all hospital core processes
As a comprehensive IT solution, ORBIS has a strong presence in all of the hospital's core processes, supporting and enhancing the medical workflow in the wards, as well as the medical and care documentation. It also provides fast and reliable access to the complete patient history and data. By combining these capabilities, ORBIS optimizes the hospital's procedures and workflows.
