Orion Health selected as integration vendor

Orion Health selected as integration vendor in the first step of an interoperability overhaul for Queensland Health

Orion Health’s Rhapsody integration software, in a partnership with Fujitsu Australia, has been selected to replace Queensland Health’s legacy middleware system.

This is the first step in a large program of work that will incrementally replace Queensland Health’s IT infrastructure. Fujitsu Australia is providing the implementation and change management services with support from Orion Health’s Australian implementation services team.

Queensland Health is responsible for the public health system serving Queensland’s population of 4.8 million people.

Orion Health Senior Vice President, Asia Pacific, Darren Jones, says “we are thrilled to be working with Fujitsu to deliver the first stage of Queensland Health’s future interoperability platform. Together we have a shared vision for a fully integrated state wide health system and Orion Health is excited to have the opportunity to provide the foundation for this with our Rhapsody solution.”

Under the first phase of the program, Queensland Health will refine and confirm its requirements, along with the solution design and implementation approach.
Queensland Health’s CTO Colin McCririck, chief architect Brendon Kirby and its IT team will take a co-design approach with Orion Health and Fujitsu, to mitigate any risks and technical issues.

It expects to complete the first phase by June next year and begin installing the new middleware after that.

Ends.
