Irish software company secures Canadian hospital deal

Irish software company Lincor Solutions has won a significant contract to install its Medivista entertainment and communications product in 300 beds at the 1,000 bed London Health Sciences Center (LHSC), in Ontario Canada.

Lincor, an Enterprise Ireland client company specialising in healthcare solutions, secured the contract along with its Canadian technology partner Carillion IT, a subsidiary of Carillion Canada.

The announcement was made by Tánaiste Mary Coughlan during Enterprise Ireland’s trade mission to Canada involving 35 companies from sectors including software, telecoms and financial services.

"The company is a fast growing, international Irish success story with solutions installed at over 14,000 hospital beds in some 60 hospitals worldwide," the Tánaiste said.

"This new contract is a further step in the company’s impressive export growth that will help them bolster their already successful Irish operation."

MediVista is a fully digital solution providing a suite of entertainment services for patients across internet, TV and telephone as well as access to clinical applications such as electronic patient records and X-Ray images.
