Hospital Diaconessenhuis Leiden, a major teaching hospital in Leiden, has also renewed its contract for iSOFT's hospital information systems and support in a three-year agreement worth $4.8 million (€2.4 million). During the contract period, Hospital Diaconessenhuis Leiden will work with iSOFT to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of patients' treatment.

Dr J G den Hollander, the Diaconessenhuis Leiden Hospital's director of operations, said: “iSOFT is a proven supplier providing trusted software applications, reliable support and trouble-free service.

"iSOFT's systems help us to improve the quality of information for clinical staff and quality of care for patients. These are also fundamental to improving efficiency and effectiveness while driving down costs," Dr den Hollander said.

Peter Herrmann, managing director of iSOFT Central Europe, said: "Our technologies not only create connections between existing systems, they create value by adding new functionality, and they're also designed to integrate perfectly with developing technologies over the coming years. That's the winning combination we provide - products that are both highly efficient and future-proof."
