Cegedim's Stacks Takes a Leading Role in Health Tech
Cegedim Group's subsidiary Stacks has been selected to implement an innovative electronic medical record system in the Balearic Islands.
Recently, Stacks Consulting e Ingeniería en Software entered a pivotal partnership with the Servei de Salut de les Illes Balears (Ib-Salut), aiming to streamline primary care through advanced technology. This initiative aims to not only improve patient care but also transform the healthcare landscape in the region.
Transforming Healthcare with Technology
At the heart of this ambitious project is Stacks' OMIap software, which is already trusted by countless healthcare providers across Spain. This contract, set to last for 36 months, is a fundamental element of Spain’s Recovery and Resilience Plan, which is backed by the EU’s NextGenerationEU fund.
Benefits for Residents
Implementing OMIap will have far-reaching effects, benefiting around 1.2 million residents. With over 18,000 primary care professionals depending on this system, the enhancement of service delivery is set to reach various medical disciplines. This includes nearly 3,000 general practitioners, 340 pediatricians, over 6,000 nurses, and many administrative and support staff members.
Enhancing Healthcare Capabilities
These professionals will seamlessly transition to the new system, which is uniquely designed to cater to their needs, backed by a wealth of experience from its initial developers—medical professionals themselves. Not only will this facilitate better coordination in patient care, but it will also optimize efficiency throughout healthcare operations.
Project Phases: A Roadmap to Success
The rollout of this electronic medical records system will occur in several phases:
- Coordination phase (2025-2026): This phase will focus on consulting for functional requirements, reviewing the systems architecture, conducting a security audit, and implementing a pilot project.
- Roll-out phase (2026-2027): Gradually expanding OMIap across health sectors in Ibiza-Formentera, Menorca, and Mallorca will ensure comprehensive coverage.
- Support phase (2027-2028): A dedicated team will provide around-the-clock support for troubleshooting and system upgrades.
Recognized Leader in Health Tech
OMIap has already distinguished itself in the Spanish market as one of the trusted electronic medical record solutions. Its reputation stems from its reliability, scalability, and the smart integration of AI features that save time and improve patient outcomes. Healthcare providers appreciate the software's ability to integrate varied functions that cater specifically to clinical practices’ requirements.
