Agfa HealthCare and Montpellier CHRU Announce Strategic Partnership

By HospiMedica International staff writers
Posted on 01 Mar 2010
Agfa HealthCare (Morstel, Belgium), a leading provider of diagnostic imaging and healthcare information technology (IT) solutions, has announced that it has signed an agreement with Montpellier Centre Hospitalier Régional Universitaire (CHRU; Paris, France) for the installation of the Agfa Orbis Hospital/Clinical Information System (HIS/CIS) across its seven facilities.

Under the terms of the agreement, the Montpellier CHRU will become the showcase in France for Agfa's patient information solutions, offering customized data traceability and collection, as well as formalization and analysis of protocols, and will thus serve as a key reference site for the Agfa Orbis patient information system.

The system will also enable information exchanges in real time between all specialists and nursing staff involved throughout the patient care process, and it is intended as part of a larger project to further streamline and improve the facilities' operations, as well as allowing the development and advancement of medical research.

"We will increase the efficiency of the Montpellier CHRU through more rigorous management of our healthcare provision. Our partnership with Agfa HealthCare is therefore truly strategic,” said Alain Manville, managing director of the Montpellier CHRU.

"This new agreement and the partnership are of strategic importance to Agfa HealthCare, not only on the national level but, thanks to the prominence of the CHRU, on an international level as well,” added Philippe Blanco, managing director of Agfa HealthCare France.

Montpellier CHRU is the fifth largest university hospital in France, ranking fourth in the Le Point 2005-2009 overview of leading facilities, with 3,000 beds in seven institutions providing a full spectrum of healthcare. As an academic hospital, it provides critical care, teaching, and research services, and employs 9,000 staff members.
