So when St Louis decided to replace their ageing Hospital Information System, it was clear that they wanted a strategic partner with a leading solution to help the organization meet its information current needs as well as support its future growth. “As a well-respected hospital in Thailand, we wanted to take this replacement opportunity to ensure that we invested wisely on a solution that supports streamlined work processes, cost management and at the same time, enhance overall patient experience, “ said Rev. Father Prasert, Hospital Vice-President. Together with its partner - Thai GL, novaMSC participated on an extensive and rigorous evaluation process set-out by Rev. Father Thananthong, Head of IT Department, responsible for the hospital’s overall IT strategy and development. In the end, VESALIUS-HIS™ was selected by St Louis Hospital (SLH) for its flexibility and comprehensiveness as their product of choice to deliver improved patient services
"Besides tackling priority issues such as patient waiting times and overall operational efficiency, the hospital is interested in Clinical Management using technology as this is expected to improve patient care. In VESALIUS, we found a product that represents next generation in healthcare solutions, one that integrates both business and clinical needs of a hospital," said Father Thananthong. "The HIS could not come at a better time where the emphasis on efficiency with speed, accuracy and safety have never been more important. VESALIUS can help harness hospital-wide knowledge and information of a distributed healthcare provider to offer better service to the ever mobile patients via the Internet, " pointed out Khun Loh, General Manager for Thai GL.

22 May 2004 - When Archbishop Louis Vey, Apostolic
Vicar of Roman Catholic Mission in Siam established the non-profit
St. Louis Hospital along South Sathorn Road in Bangkok back in
1898, little must he have imagined the progress that the institution
could make in a century. As the hospital enters its second century,
it is constructing a fully equipped 24-storey building complete
with rooftop heliport for emergency patient evacuation, to support
over 500 inpatients and over 2,000 outpatients per day across a
comprehensive range of clinical specialties.
SLH targets to launch Thailand's first fully-integrated
web-based hospital information system before end 2004. The system
covers
inpatient and outpatient management, pharmacy, patient billing,
medical records tracking and clinical management. The clinical
management module will be integrated with Picture Archival & Communication
System (PACS) and Laboratory instruments for real-time results
retrieval to ensure that caregivers are provided with a complete
set of clinical information.
