U.K. Healthcare Solutions Provider Accelerates GP Systems and Enhances Patient Care

Healthcare technology supplier EMIS is always seeking ways to enhance its solutions, driven by strong partnerships with national programmes such as NHS Connecting for Health in the United Kingdom. The company wanted to boost the performance of its EMIS Web suite, which is used to manage patient records, to help doctors make better use of their time. EMIS has redeveloped the solution on latest-release Microsoft technologies, including the Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 development system and Windows Server 2008 operating system. These solutions have reduced transaction times for doctors accessing patient records from five seconds to fractions of a second. The technology also provides optimum security for 39 million patient records across a vast network of healthcare providers, and supports the company's expansion into new areas of care.
