Quartech awarded contract to develop the BC Early Hearing Program system for the Provincial Services Health Authority
Burnaby, British Columbia, January 24, 2008 - Quartech Systems Ltd. has been awarded a contract to develop an information management system for the BC Early Hearing Program (BCEHP), a service of the Provincial Health Services Authority.
Quartech will work with the BCEHP project team to develop a secure, web-based, computer system accessible to health professionals at multiple sites across BC. BCEHP will be screening more than 95 per cent of all babies born in BC for early signs of hearing loss. The new system developed by Quartech will assist health professionals across BC to collect and monitor data on patient test results.
Quartech is excited to be part of a project that will positively impact the future of deaf and hard of hearing babies and their families," says Satnam Sekhon, a Quartech project manager.
Quartech Systems Ltd., one of British Columbia's leading consulting and information technology (IT) services firms, helps customers in the private sector and government achieve strategic and operational objectives through the use of information technology.

Quartech
Systems Ltd. Helps B.C. Hospitals Protect Patient Privacy
Quartech Systems has developed a new software system
for Fraser Health that helps them more effectively monitor access to patient
information.
The automated software enhances monitoring and
reporting of access to sensitive patient information through information
systems that provide health care workers with data about a patient's medical
history.
The software will compare data from information
systems such as Pathnet, a web-based electronic system that delivers
prescription history and diagnostic laboratory information, with admission
records.
A request for patient information must be matched by
a corresponding hospital admission record within 24 hours. If it is not, the
request is flagged for investigation by hospital administrators. The software
allows the hospital to automate the process for meeting auditing requirements
with minimal impact on resources.
While Quartech developed this system to manage Fraser
Health's patient information systems, the software is flexible enough to be
adapted to any of the numerous information systems used by hospitals throughout
British Columbia.
Quartech's software is being used at four of Fraser
Health's hospitals, and will eventually scale up to all of Fraser Health's 12
hospitals accessing Pathnet and Pharmanet in their Emergency Departments.
Fraser Health serves nearly one-third of the B.C. population.
