Philips has entered into an agreement with Wipro Limited, a leading technology services and consulting company, to adapt Philips Electronic Medical Record (EMR) to provide a tailored EMR solution for the needs of healthcare providers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The agreement builds on the decade long partnership between the two companies.
Philips EMR offers one integrated solution across all care settings through a single platform and database that enables centralized management of clinical, operational and administrative processes. The capabilities of the platform will be combined with Wipro’s expertise in professional service delivery, as well as established patient administration and revenue cycle management systems designed for and delivered in the Kingdom.
The collaboration will help drive sustainable digital transformation of healthcare at a time when medical practices face pressure to operate at peak efficiency. It will leverage international clinical best practices while complying with local practices and regulations. With this offering, which may be extended to other markets in the future, healthcare providers will gain access to market-leading complementary technologies and services to ultimately deliver better health outcomes, improved patient and staff experience and lower the cost of care. It will particularly focus on supporting local clinical practice, configurable workflows, data and service integrations, and clinical decision support in a bid to realize Saudi’s Health Sector Transformation Program – Vision 2030 <https://www.vision2030.gov.sa/v2030/vrps/hstp/>.
“As Philips, we have over 20 years’ experience in electronic medical records solutions, which forms the basis of this sophisticated system that standardizes and centralizes processes for enhanced efficiency and outcomes,” said Vincenzo Ventricelli, CEO of Philips Middle East, Türkiye & Africa. “Through this collaboration we will be able to offer our advanced Philips EMR solution to benefit healthcare providers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, supporting improved patient outcomes and increased operational efficiency.”
