Healthcare

Changing living conditions and increased life expectancy have made healthcare one of the greatest challenges to society in this decade. As a result, today most healthcare systems face critical challenges: providing a better quality of care whilst also keeping control of spending on health. Putting the patient at the heart of the information system, encouraging co-operation between healthcare professionals, and measuring and managing activities are all essential enablers in this evolution.

Whether relying on public or private healthcare systems, most countries have embarked down the road of modernising their public health policies to meet these fundamental challenges, by:

• Ensuring effective co-operation between general practitioners and hospital care.
• Developing preventive health policies.
• Managing expenditure – whether on equipment, buildings or personnel – given that the healthcare sector is the biggest employer in almost every Western nation.

Information systems are instrumental in these developments. For years, Bull has worked in partnership with healthcare authorities and organizations around the world to help them evolve towards these new models. From consulting to outsourcing, from infrastructure platforms to healthcare applications, Bull helps organizations by:
