e-health: Bumrungrad International Bangkok
Bumrungrad International in Bangkok is the largest private hospital in S.E. Asia. It treats 1.2 million patients annually, 430,000 of whom come from outside Thailand. Annual revenues are U.S.$270 million.
In 1997, Bumrungrad deployed several UNIX-based software solutions specialised for various areas of the hospital. However, the programs weren’t well integrated, were difficult to use, and were slow. Yjeu have now implemented the Microsoft Amalga Hospital Information System, which provides a single integrated database and interface across all hospital departments.
