HSE hires second IT consultancy

The HSE has had to contract outside consultants, for the second time, to get a €35m IT maternity system operational in two Dublin hospitals.

The Irish Examiner understands that management consultants Prospectus are the ‘vendor’ selected to support the HSE in rolling out the Maternal and Newborn Clinical Management System (MN-CMS) in the Rotunda Hospital and in the National Maternity Hospital (NHS), Holles St.

Previously, consultants, Deloitte, were brought in as “support partners” to deliver the system at Cork University Maternity Hospital (CUMH) and at University Hospital Kerry (UHK).
