Healthcare

There are few sectors more sensitive than healthcare. That is why IT security and confidentiality are paramount. So are accuracy and interoperability that transcends national borders as well as different health jurisdictions or hospitals.
  

Europe is leading the way in the significant changes that are affecting healthcare. By 2010, the first national electronic patient records should be able to be shared across national borders at the patient's request. A pilot for e-prescriptions and patient summaries is underway.

With over 50 million cards already in circulation in Europe, the proliferation of health cards for both patients and health professionals will eventually demand a new generation of data repositories and new levels of security for enabling large-scale healthcare IT systems.

Just as important will be the role of e-prescription and reimbursement schemes that will encompass practitioners, pharmacists and insurance companies.
  

Steria's involvement in the development and implementation of IT solutions in the healthcare sector throughout Europe has given us experience in a wide range of disciplines. We are leaders in the technology and process challenges associated with interoperability.

We are also highly competitive in supplying routine business support services that allow professionals to focus on providing better healthcare to their patients.

That is why we can ensure that medical information is available where and when it's needed to guarantee what should be the sector's prime objective: universally efficient patient treatment.
