As per the agreement, both the companies will provide consultancy and IT services to help Castilla y Leon transform and improve health center procurement, logistics and supply processes. A new Healthcare Management System will also be rolled out to all health centers. The system will be integrated with the IT systems of the Regional Health Management organization and the corporate systems of the Castilla y Leon government.
The companies said the deal, signed last month, will reduce costs for Castilla y Leon by streamlining operating procedures. Communication and information exchange between various centers will be more efficient, and the healthcare system will have greater control over supplies and resources.
The deal strengthens IBM's position in the healthcare sector. IBM is currently helping to overhaul other healthcare systems in Catalonia, Murcia, Aragon, Extremadura and Castilla y Leon.
The deal follows IBM's five-year multi-million pound contract from Middlesex University to upgrade and manage its IT infrastructure and provide disaster recovery services.
