iSOFT has been appointed sub-contractor to Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. (ACS) to provide and support laboratory information systems at Mater Dei Hospital.

Malta Information Technology and Training Services (Mitts) has also extended its 12-year relationship with iSOFT for an upgrade of the current patient administration system.

The seven-year contract with ACS Healthcare Solutions includes iSOFT's laboratory information system (i.Laboratory), that will be installed as part of a programme to improve the management of health records and integrate digital medical equipment.

Dallas, Texas-based ACS has a seven-year contract with the government to improve the efficiency of delivery of health care and recording of patient information. It is providing the hardware, software and expertise needed to maintain a laboratory information system, radiology information system, and picture archiving and communications system. The company will integrate these systems with the Mater Dei's existing systems.

iSOFT has also renewed its existing contract in Malta, signed with Mitts in January 2004. This is for order communications at the new hospital and will enable laboratory tests and x-rays to be ordered online and the results viewed in real time as part of the medical record.
