Saudi Arabia hospital selects Orion Health

King Fahd Medical City (KFMC), in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, has adopted Orion Health’s Rhapsody Integration Engine to provide communication between its computer systems.

Orion said its Rhapsody currently provides connections between new and existing information systems at KFMC, including the CorrTex Hospital Information System, Pyxis, GE PACS, Remedy, and Maximo, as well as CCTV, Access Control, Human Resource Systems and Active Directory. Rhapsody also generates and sends pager and SMS alerts for staff across the hospital, allowing them to be alerted when critical new data is available, according to the Auckland, New Zealand-based company.

KFMC is a 1,400-bed, multi-hospital healthcare complex, and is one of the country's largest healthcare providers.
