Virga Jesseziekenhuis opts for Forcea and implements HealthReport
Virga Jesseziekenhuis Hasselt, a general public hospital with 589 beds, is entrusting Forcea to fulfil its Data Warehouse and business intelligence needs.

The HealthReport Data Warehouse gives the ability to build further on existing sources of data, from IBM CPO, Siemens, Oazis, SAP, Infohos, etc., which enables a hospital to rapidly extract great added value from a fully integrated view of its information.Thanks to the implementation of the HealthReport solution, the management and staff members of Virga Jesse will obtain an integrated view at their hospital-wide information.

Jan Yperman Hospital in Ieper further fine-tunes and enhances its policy management using HealthReport.
Jan Yperman Hospital is a combined trust hospital with approximately 500 beds housed in a new building in Ieper and a polyclinic in Poperinge. Since 2006, it has steadily been developing its structured and integrated information strategy using the HealthReport application developed by Forcea. Just recently, the hospital renewed its agreement with Forcea to continue providing these services.
Jan Yperman Hospital has already recorded outstanding results with its HealthReport modules, the professional implementation of the system by Forcea and the seamless link with the Xtenso Oazis system. As a result, the hospital board recently decided to open up the following areas of its activities through its HealthReport datawarehouse: all financial and accounting policy information (SAP), plus the analytical monitoring of the pharmacy policy (Infohos), including analyses relating to the price-setting of medication.
“Jan Yperman Hospital needs to implement the hospital-wide automation and consolidation of information that supports its policy,” states Christophe Mouton, director of administration and finance at Jan Yperman Hospital. “Forcea has turned out to be a highly dependable partner for us. They provide us with day-to-day guidance in what we are doing by steadily developing the datawarehouse. HealthReport also gives us the ability to build further on our existing sources of data, from Oazis, SAP, Infohos, etc. This in turn enables us to extract great added value from our datawarehouse because we have a fully integrated view of our information.”

Onze-Lieve-Vrouw hospital in Aalst standardises on HealthReport.
Onze-Lieve-Vrouw hospital, a combined health trust that operates 844 beds spread over 3 sites in Aalst, Asse and Ninove, has selected Forcea to develop a hospital-wide policy information platform.
Steven Creve, ICT Director at OLV hospital: “We have invested a great deal in recent years on automating our operational hospital processes. But because a hospital is a complex environment and no umbrella ERP application currently exists for hospitals, we have implemented a number of best-of-breed solutions to meet our needs. These include SAP for our financial and patient management needs, Infohos for the pharmacy and Oazis from Xtenso for pricing and invoicing our services. But we were experiencing major problems with the various operational data sources for maintaining a policy overview across the whole organisation. Fortunately, our experience has been very good with HealthReport and Cognos for our Minimal Clinical Data analyses and Balanced Scorecard monitoring. Standardising to the HealthReport Data Warehouse now provides us with a high-frequency and integrated solution for systematic hospital-wide policy that is straightforward to publish and distribute.”

HealthReport expands links with SAP and Infohos.
HealthReport, the unique integrated decision-supporting information solution for hospitals, is constantly being expanded to provide policy managers with as broad an overview of their organisation as possible. Two recent additions to the tool have now made HealthReport even more powerful for systematic, hospital-wide reporting.
To begin with, the HealthReport Data Warehouse has been successfully linked with SAP. The data warehouse already included a module for monitoring hospital financial management. Now the SAP data source has been added to the existing interfaces of this module along with PIA (Ordiges), Fimacs (Real Software) and SBIM.
HealthReport has also been expanded with a new basic module for monitoring the management of the hospital pharmacy. The new module makes it possible to analyse and report on purchases, stocks and movements of drugs and other medications. To do this, the HealthReport Data Warehouse is linked with the Infohos (IHC) pharmacy application.
