Swisscom continues to expand its healthcare offerSwisscom purchases portX software from IT Vision AG, thus becoming the leading provider of comprehensive, integrated healthcare solutions. portX is a software solution for the simple and secure exchange of patient data and invoices in the healthcare segment and is now being sold under the name curaX via the Swisscom subsidiary curabill AG, which is also taking over the existing customer contracts. This takeover allows Swisscom to offer a comprehensive solution for the healthcare industry: from the secure, personal online health record Evita to the digital exchange of data by the service provider to claims management for settlements.
Around 250 million paper documents with medical content are
sent in Switzerland each year, including discharge reports,
prescriptions, invoices, money transfers and much more.
With portX IT Vision has built a leading platform for the
exchange of data in the healthcare segment. As a result of
the takeover Swisscom will now be able to securely network
all service providers and cost centres with one another so
that they can exchange data with each other electronically
and without caching. Today 64 companies from the healthcare
industry are already using the software. These customers
will now be directly supported by the Swisscom subsidiary
curabill. curabill will further expand portX under the name
curaX in order to advance digitisation in the healthcare
industry.
Stronger networking supports cost reductions in
healthcare
Networking and the electronic exchange of documents in the
healthcare segment offers many advantages: Transparency
increases, process steps are eliminated and workflows
become simplified and automated. Since documents no longer
have to be recorded numerous times and are available at the
push of a button, there is also a lower susceptibility to
errors. As a result, digitisation in healthcare leads to
lower administrative costs with the same or even better
performance. Efficiently networking those involved in the
healthcare industry is also an important prerequisite for
implementing the federal government's eHealth
strategy.
Swisscom offers a comprehensive range of products via
specialised service provider curabill AG
With this acquisition Swisscom is assuming a leading role
as a provider of complete solutions in the market. With the
online health record Evita, the Spitex web solution curamo,
the practice software curabill Online, the "Health
Professional Card", the networking software curaX and
claims management, Swisscom is bundling one of the most
comprehensive portfolios of solutions and products in the
healthcare segment in its subsidiary curabill. With this
portfolio, both patients and service providers (doctors,
hospitals) as well as cost centres can be networked with
each other.
