Siemens wins three Soarian contracts

Two U.S. healthcare facilities have signed multi-year contracts with Siemens Healthcare, which include the installation of Siemens' Soarian Health Information System (HIS) platform. An additional facility also signed a multi-year contract for Soarian and Siemens' MedSeries4, a web-based HIS designed for community hospitals.

The H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center, a 162-bed facility in Tampa, Fla., chose Soarian Financials, in part, because the Enterprise Master Patient Index, Patient Access and Patient Accounting are integrated into one system to streamline operations, according to Siemens.

The 341-bed acute-care Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital Medical Center in Plattsburg, N.Y., chose Soarian Clinicals, in addition to Soarian Emergency Department, Soarian Device Connect and other surrounding applications, the company said.

The community hospital Franklin Medical Center in Winnsboro, La., signed a 10-year contract with Siemens that includes implementing MedSeries4 General Financials, Patient Accounting, Soarian Clinicals, along with several other Siemens solutions, Siemens said.
