The best, but not the cheapest…

Friday, December 19th, 2008

Health Solutions has participated in a public tender for decision-making tools in transplantation healthcare services at Karolinska University Hospital and Uppsala University Hospital. The other companies submitting a tender were MedSciNet, Karolinska’s internal IT department, Avensia, Alfa and Omegapoint.

In the evaluations carried out of the various systems Health Solutions RealQ solution was a clear winner, with a points total approaching the maximum amount possible to have. However, one of the tenders submitted by another was cheaper, although of worse quality according to the evaluations group. For this reason the project was awarded to another supplier.

In a number of installations Health Solutions has demonstrated clear value within healthcare for the clients who have chosen RealQ. We are convinced that the solution which is best is also the most economical in the long run.

We congratulate MedSciNet on winning the contract and wish them the best of luck in the project!

“Competition for a place in the finals has been very tough”

Monday, November 24th, 2008

Health Solutions has made it to the final round of the 2008 Healthcare Information Technology Awards in the category ‘National Healthcare Assistance and Cooperation Across Healthcare Borders.’ We were awarded the nomination for RealQ®, our platform for healthcare quality control and decision support. The award, given by Dagens Medicin, has become the most prestigious award in the realm of healthcare IT. The quote from the headline belongs to Lars Gatenbeck, the chairman of the jury. Naturally, we are extremely pleased to be going on to the finals in a year like this one.

Health Solutions has been developing the RealQ® platform since 2000. The concept is based on experience with over 60 projects within the healthcare sector and the pharmaceuticals industry, both in Sweden and abroad.

We are thrilled, but not surprised, by our place in the finals, because we have seen for many years the way RealQ® benefits Swedish healthcare with applications such as InfCare HIV.
