2008-06-02 Ortivus partner leaves IT-project “Connecting for Health”

As previously communicated, Ortivus has been selected as preferred supplier of electronic patient records (ePR) by Fujitsu, for the english “Connecting for Health” project (CfH). Fujitsu is a so called local service provider (LSP) in southern England to National Health Service (NHS). Fujitsu and NHS has for some time negotiated a “reset” of the project, but has not been able to come to an agreement. NHS therefore has announced it will terminate its contract with Fujitsu.

- Currently we do not know how NHS and Fujitsu will handle this situation, why it’s too early to say how this will affect Ortivus, says Bengt Arne Sjöqvist, acting CEO of Ortivus AB. We will of course offer our solution to any new LSP, but we will also immediately initiate other actions related to this new situation. With our technology and long presence on the English market we are well positioned, and we see a large potential in England, also outside of the scope of CfH. The English market continues to be very important for Ortivus.
