Yuyan will also implement modules from People's Health Solution that supports patient and doctor call centre capability and video and voice collaboration with health professionals across the internet.
IBA's People's Health's General Manager Mr Anthony Liu said "our business plan forecasts a significant market for functionality that includes patient and health professional collaboration along side of administrative systems; we are pleased that in such a short time we have been able to secure our first combined product sale. We now have e-health implementations in two of the 18 districts of Shanghai with discussions in other provinces and our 180 plus hospital clients proving positive. Project planning with Yuyan Hospital will commence in May, with implementation commencing in July and completion expected in October this year." concluded Mr Liu.
The Yuyan opportunity builds on the Changning e-health project which when fully implemented will connect 11 hospitals providing health professionals and patients with the ability to share patient data.
The Yuyan and the Changning projects both provide a large scale solution that can be offered IPTV based health care services. This capability is being developed by People's Health in parallel to the roll out of the e-health systems.
