"After two years of research and preparation, Syntegra have made public
details of a proposed new service, HealthNet Plus+, which is set to
fast-track the introduction of business in the UK health industry, and
transform the outlook for IT in the NHS.
HealthNet Plus+ is an unprecedented initiative for the health care
industry. It is a private sector initiative with no Government funding
which offers important opportunities for all stake holders in
healthcare.
>From a national perspective, the new NHS IT strategy reinforces the
need for better use of information in primary care to provide a better
service to patients, to reduce unnecessary costs, and to give people
better advice on health matters.
The HealthNet Plus+ proposition is simple. Syntegra will offer GPs
standard, remotely managed, desktop computing facilities, connected to
a high-performance extranet for the healthcare industry. This will
support a fee-based service enabling businesses to have their
e-commerce initiatives deployed automatically to GP desktops. In this
way, Syntegra will be harnessing private sector finance for new
technology that is essential for the modern NHS. To complement this
opportunity, we will be seeking to work with the existing suppliers of
GP clinical systems to deliver HealthNet Plus+ in a way that maximises
the value of the service to GPs."
