Healthcare information systems firm Cerner has signed contracts with several hospitals in Belgium for its Millennium electronic health record (EHR) software.
University Hospitals of Antwerp (UZA) and Gent (UZ Gent) will start their EHR projects immediately, and St. Lucas Hospital Gent (AZ Sint-Lucas Gent) will follow in the coming months.
Millennium gathers digital patient data including medical history, diagnosis, treatment, appointments, medical images, lab results, allergies, and other relevant information. Millennium can also suggest necessary tests and alert staff about allergy interactions and sepsis.
Cerner is aligning with the Belgian software companies Amaron and Besco to deliver its software to UZA, UZ Gent, and AZ Sint-Lucas Gent; the companies will help with local knowledge and expertise, according to Cerner.
