Einstein, Intel, Microsoft and Totvs come together to innovate in health management

Partnership aims to encourage and facilitate the use of technology in hospitals in the country
 
Sociedade Beneficente Israelita Brasileira Albert Einstein, Intel, Microsoft and Totvs announced a partnership to create innovative solutions for the management of hospitals in the country, collaborating to reduce costs and increase the efficiency of their processes and governance, in addition to meeting the growing patients' expectations.
 
The partnership aims to bring together the knowledge of these organizations to develop solutions aimed at reducing or eliminating the management problems faced by hospitals, such as lack of standardization in procedures and lack of technology. The idea is to develop a set of solutions that will be offered to the market later this year.
 
The first steps towards the use of technology in hospitals were taken in the early 1970s and reinforced in 1986, with the founding of the Brazilian Society for Health Information (SBIS). According to SBIS, there are seven thousand hospital institutions in Brazil. Of these, only 19% are computerized.
 
Totvs, the sixth largest business management software company in the world, participates in the partnership with solutions that encompass the entire segment chain and integrate the life management cycle, from the provision of assistance services to the financial relationship with providers and operators . The products serve both hospitals, physicians, laboratories and diagnostic centers, as well as the paying system, such as health plan operators and the government – always complying with the requirements of regulatory bodies.
 
The Einstein, qualified as a Hospital of Excellence by the Ministry of Health, will contribute, through the Instituto Israelita de Consultoria em Gestão, with practices and processes to be adopted for efficient administration, both for patients and for the hospital itself.
 
Microsoft will invest in a partnership with SQL Server, the Data Management and Analysis Platform, which will provide highly available storage and access to information from different devices, supporting all hospital management and consequent improvement in patient care.
 
To support and run all the data, Intel comes with its broad portfolio including hardware, information security and mobility. One of the tools that Intel will make available in this partnership are tablets developed in the United States especially for the health sector and configured for the Brazilian reality. The devices are sterilizable to be used even inside a surgical center, perform biometric reading and have a carrying handle, in addition to a barcode reader to speed up the identification of medications, for example.
