Atostek’s Health and Care Plan wins Istek’s tender – Pirha to be the first to implement

Atostek has been selected as the provider of health and care plan software under the framework agreement with Istek. The total value of the contracts is 1.2 million euros.

ERA Health and Care Plan provides interfaces for viewing, comparing, drafting, and maintaining health and care plans. Using the software, social and healthcare professionals can create a common plan with those who require extensive services.

The plan aims to ensure continuity of care and the flow of information between responsible parties. At the same time, it clarifies the patient’s own goals regarding their care and health promotion. There is a great need for this solution, as nearly 80% of people over 65 have multiple illnesses. Better continuity of care and patient participation in maintaining their own health reduce the need for services and lead to an increasing number of quality-adjusted life years.

– Ensuring the continuity of care, unified ways of working, and preparing for the exchange of patient information systems were key reasons for Pirha to develop health and care plan. Professionals have adopted the solution well, and it is perceived to facilitate their work, especially when changing systems. This is a big step towards better continuity of care, says Riku Metsälä, project manager at Pirha.

The solution provided by Atostek is based on ERA Health and Care Plan product and Doctamed’s records quality and expedited documentation through a medical phrase library.

– We are very pleased that the solution developed together with Pirha is going into production use. Our goal is to create solutions that add ever greater value to the daily lives of patients and professionals. ERA Health and Care Plan is an excellent example of how digitalization can improve the quality and effectiveness of care while saving significant amounts of professionals’ time, says Miika Parvio, ERA Business Director at Atostek.

Atostek received full points in the tender, and as a result of the tender, the software is also available for use in other well-being regions. Atostek’s ERA product family is a familiar and widely used service in Finland, especially in the management and processing of social and health care customer information.

ERA Health and Care Plan is a Kanta-co-tested and approved service. The service is a patient information system-independent entity that can be used as is or integrated into a patient information system.
