Ho Chi Minh City, 15 November 2018 – Orion Health today announced a significant opening at American International Hospital (AIH) in Vietnam, officially opening its state-of-the-art facility with Orion Health Enterprise underpinning the hospital’s technology ecosystem.

In order to address the growing demand for high quality healthcare in the Vietnamese market, American International Hospital is the first hospital to be built following American standards in Vietnam. The private hospital has been designed with a hotel-style interior, in order to provide an excellent patient experience.

“We are pleased to see American International Hospital open with Orion Health Enterprise as the organisation’s technology backbone. AIH is a state-of-the art facility and at Orion Health we are committed to the delivery of technology of the same standard,” says Darren Jones, CEO – Hospitals at Orion Health.

The 150-bed hospital will be equipped with advanced facilities and a team of highly-skilled medical practitioners and specialists trained across the U.S. and Vietnam. The hospital will focus on GI-liver, vascular surgery, gynaecology and obstetrics, paediatrics and urology. It will also be a research facility that works closely with U.S. hospitals.

AIH selected Orion Health due to the organisation’s experience in the Vietnamese market. An added benefit was the support the solution offers for multiple languages, including Vietnamese.

Orion Health Enterprise will allow AIH to optimise the patient journey from arrival to discharge. The end-to-end hospital solution’s functionality spans efficient patient administration, integrated back office management, scheduling of surgical resources, plus clinical and pharmacy workflows.

Clinicians can sign-on to a single, multi-lingual system and view a patient’s electronic medical record from any location within the hospital. With access to relevant patient information, clinicians can create and update the patient record in real-time. The electronic medical record has a read-only capability for those outside the health organisation, ensuring access to patient data is secure, while still accessible by those involved in the patient’s care.

“We are looking forward to experiencing the benefits of Orion’s fully comprehensive hospital system, from efficient patient administration to optimised resource management.” Phong Duong Tan, Chief Operating Officer at American International Hospital said.

Orion Health’s solution provides fundamental benefits to healthcare organisations and their patients. The fully-integrated and functionally-rich hospital ecosystem helps to reduce waste, drive efficiency and enables the delivery of superior care.
