AL AIN, UAE, February 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

Lincor are delighted to announce that in conjunction with their local partner Emitac, they have secured the contract to install MEDIVista at the Oasis Hospital in Al Ain, UAE.

The Oasis Hospital will install state-of-the-art bedside computers from Lincor Solutions, to provide staff and patients with access to clinical and multimedia applications at the point of care. The Oasis system includes specially designed touch screen computers installed at every bed for accessing critical hospital management and diagnostic systems, while also offering a suite of entertainment, education and communications services to patients.

Lincor is the leading global provider of bedside computing solutions for hospitals. Its MEDIVista solution, already installed at 20,000 hospital beds around the world, is designed to enhance patient care, improve the patient experience and increase operational effectiveness. The solution is based on the most advanced beside device on the market which is fully integrated with clinical, picture archiving and hospital management systems to meet the needs of clinicians, patients and hospital administration personnel.

"As the first hospital in the emirate of Abu Dhabi, we have been at the front end of many healthcare firsts in the country and we are proud to carry on that tradition.  The Oasis Hospital is excited to be partnering with Lincor to provide a state-of-the-art solution that enhances the patient experience as well as aids the clinicians," commented Brad Kellogg, Senior Vice President of Facility Management and Safety, Oasis Hospital.  "Patient wellbeing and outcomes will be improved by giving doctors and nurses the information they need, when and where they need it."  

"The Oasis Hospital continues to be a high performing, patient-focused hospital serving its community by providing quality and excellence in patient care," said Canice McKee, Sales Manager, Middle East, Lincor Solutions. "By delivering more services and applications direct to the point-of-care, with MEDIVista, it is optimizing its investments in technology and infrastructure, while improving patient safety and experience."

Richard Cooke, CEO of Lincor, added, "We are delighted that the Oasis Hospital has chosen to work with Lincor and our local partners Emitac. We are confident that our MEDIVista technology will improve the patient experience and assist both clinicians and nursing as it has done in over 90 other leading hospitals worldwide"

The Oasis Hospital is the 1^st hospital in the United Arab Emirates to install Lincor's MEDIVista solution.  It provides television, phone, internet, games, video telephony, educational content and hospital information, all on a secure, sterile bedside PC. Doctors and nurses can also use the same device to access patient records and clinical applications, and to record observations in real-time eliminating the need for additional hardware on the wards and the error-prone practice of re-keying information.

Lincor's MEDIVista solution includes applications for improving the effectiveness of hospital processes such as catering and bed management. It offers an ideal platform for distributing and managing patient surveys, whether they are required for regulatory purposes or to support business intelligence and patient relationship management. At the same time hospitals can mitigate the cost of providing essential clinical bedside access by generating revenue from patient entertainment and other services.
