Ortivus has been awarded a contract to deliver its pre-hospital MobiMed electronic patient care record (“ePCR”) system to South Central Ambulance Service Trust (SCAST).
The new contract has been awarded through the West Midlands Ambulance Service Foundation Trust Framework for the Supply of Ambulance Electronic Patient Record System, under which Ortivus is a supplier. The fully managed MobiMed service includes delivery of ePCR software, hardware, 24/7 support and hosting of electronic patient records. SCAST handles over 100,000 patient calls per month and has approximately 470 vehicles. The total value of the 5-year order is £4.7M. Installation is expected to start during 2020 and the agreement is valid over a five-year period with an option to extend by up to two years. The optional years have a value of £1.5M.
”This extension of service with an existing customer demonstrates the high-quality MobiMed Journal product and first-class service and support delivered by Ortivus. The latter is required when operating a business-critical system like this” said Reidar Gårdebäck, CEO for Ortivus UK.
Ortivus has been working to provide their MobiMed solution as a fully managed ePCR service with SCAST since contract signature in 2013. The initial contract was for a period of 4 years and subsequently extended to the maximum length of 6 years.
Planning for the new solution shall begin during first quarter of 2020, with system commissioning to start during 2020. Ortivus will continue to deliver the current services until the new solution is commissioned.
