iSOFT Group Limited, one of the world’s largest healthcare information technology companies, today announced that it will showcase its suite of innovative solutions that focus on interoperability at the HIMSS health IT conference in Atlanta in the US from March 1-4, 2010.

iSOFT, which last year entered the important US market through its acquisition of Boston-based technology developer BridgeForward Software (re-named iSOFT Integration Systems), will at HIMSS demonstrate its solutions that are designed to address the requirements for ‘Meaningful Use’ under the US Government’s US$34 billion health IT stimulus package.

A key differentiator of iSOFT in the US market is that it is ranks among the few global health IT companies whose existing portfolio of solutions meets the requirements for interoperability across the full spectrum of today’s complex healthcare environments. iSOFT has 20 years of expertise and direct engagement with healthcare organizations in some 40 countries and has cemented its global reputation as an important agent of change as national healthcare systems around the world undergo transformation.

“The US market makes up about half of the total global spending on health IT, which will balloon further as the government’s stimulus package kicks in,” said Gary Cohen, Executive Chairman & CEO. “As one of the biggest health IT companies in the world, with experience in connecting complex healthcare systems in Continental Europe and the UK, iSOFT has the expertise and the capacity to make a real difference as the US healthcare industry undergoes transformational change. At HIMSS we will showcase the depth of our expertise and our capacity to help healthcare organisations to meet the requirements for interoperability and ‘Meaningful Use’.”
