Essen/Steyr, 10 November 2006 - Atos Origin, a leading international IT services company, and Systema, the market leader for hospital information systems in Austria, have entered into a cooperation agreement to improve workflows management in German hospitals through the implementation of a medical workflow solution based on the “medical process assistant” (mpa) and mySAP for healthcare. Through this solution, hospitals and clinic associations will benefit from a quicker access to patient information; plan treatment paths more efficiently ; and integrate technical applications and accounting systems more easily. Today, more than 15,000 users are already benefiting from this solution in Austrian hospitals.

“In Systema and their mpa solution, we have found a competent partner for our activities in the healthcare sector. Systema offers a highly-integrated and user friendly solution, based on a modern software architecture for mySAP Healthcare, and manages all medical treatment processes with the required flexibility” stated Frank Bagdahn, Sales Director Public & Healthcare at Atos Origin in Germany. “Atos Origin is a partner for the hospitals in Germany for implementation projects as well as for IT support and services.
