Microsoft has launched some new, and rebranded some existing products as the Amalga family of Health Enterprise Systems. This was a big focus at their booth at HIMSS this year where they had a great variety of demos on hand to interact with and introduce the new solutions. The demos I saw looked fantastic and the several thousand square foot booth was packed the entire time I was there which certainly speaks to the interest these new solutions are generating.
The new line up includes:
Microsoft Amalga which is the new brand for Azyxxi. Amalga is the Unified Intelligence System offering which will allow hospitals to apply business intelligence like tools to clinical, financial and administrative systems.
Microsoft Amalga Hospital Information System is the new version of the Hospital 2000 product. It has been fully updated to include an integrated HIS system with an EMR, bed management, laboratory, pharmacy, RIS, PACS, pathology, accounting, materials management and HR systems.
Microsoft Amalga RIS/PACS is the new versions of GCS Amalga which is the RIS/PACs system built into the HIS system, but in a version that can be purchased separately.
