26-May-2000 - CHROME
GLOBAL SIGNS $2.1M eHEALTH DEAL
 Internet and e-commerce
provider CHROME Global today announced the signing of a $2.1 million contract
with New South Wales medical group, Pacific Medical Imaging (PMI).
The
deal is the first major project signed by CHROME Global's eHEALTH business
unit and is an important signal to the company's shareholders and to the
market that CHROME Global is working towards fulfilling its long-term business
strategy.
CHROME Global Managing Director Kevin Baum said "CHROME
eHEALTH currently has about $51 million worth of potential work in its sales
pipeline, which will have a significant impact on CHROME's earnings."
"The current projects in the pipeline are located in Queensland,
Western Australia, New South Wales, Victoria and New Zealand" Mr Baum said.
"In addition to this regional demand, CHROME Global has received
strong demand for its eHEALTH solutions from parties in South East Asia and
India, which complements CHROME's strategic growth into these
regions."
Under the deal announced today, CHROME eHEALTH will implement
a complete patient scheduling and result reporting system, in the first
instance, to 25 of PMI's radiology practices throughout New South Wales. The
implementation will cover the provision of all software, hardware,
maintenance, training and technical support.
PMI's Chief Executive
Peter Schultz said, "we believe this is a strategic decision to enable PMI to
utilize the converging technology that will enable radiology to move into the
multimedia and eHEALTH space. The selection was based on finding a partner
that can supply an open systems environment giving the organisation access to
leading edge technology and business solutions in the diagnostic imaging
sector."
The PMI deal comes just 2 1/2 months after CHROME Global
announced the formation of its dedicated eHEALTH unit, a business vertical
aimed at delivering e-commerce solutions to the health sector.
CHROME
eHEALTH incorporates a strategic partnership with the world's largest
information technology company IBM, and distributorship rights in Australia
and New Zealand for three world-class, health related e-commerce solutions.
About the Distributorship Applications:
Quadrat is a Belgium
company that has developed the Radiology Information System (RIS), which
provides a complete booking and scheduling system for
radiologists.
Markcare Medical Systems has developed the Picture,
Archival and Communications Systems (PACS) which captures and electronically
stores images of x-rays, ultrasounds etc. Markcare has also developed
Teleradiology, which allows doctors and specialists in remote locations to
view electronic images via computer and assist in the diagnosis/treatment
process.
Worldcare Technologies has developed a Telemedicine platform
for regional, national and international clinical information exchange, and
leading solutions for clinical image management and distribution.
Mr
Baum said the health sector was an exciting arena and CHROME Global had
employed people who understood the relevant business drivers and could
actually deliver real business benefits to its customers.
"A great
deal of time and resources have been invested in establishing CHROME's health
vertical and through our staff's hard work and dedication we are now well
placed to establish a strong foothold in the lucrative health market" Mr Baum
said.
Mr Baum said David Genner, Business Development Manager for
CHROME Global's Sydney office had worked with PMI for several months to refine
the business solution which now streamlined PMI's interaction with doctors in
respect to patient scheduling, report and image distribution. PMI was now
positioned as a leader in the use of eHEALTH solutions delivering major
efficiencies in the provision of health care.
