The Government of the Spanish region Castilla y Leon has signed a contract with IBM and Telvent Global Services to manage the IT at its healthcare centres. The multi-million euro contract will see IBM and Televant Global Services transform the healthcare centres back office processes.

It is hoped the new contract will allow for greater communication among primary care centres, specialised care centres, and emergency and central services allowing the healthcare system to run more efficiently, providing improved care for the local community.

IBM and Telvent Global Services will provide consultancy and information technology services to help Castilla y Leon with the aim to improve health centre procurement, logistics and supply processes. The regional government of Castilla y Leon will be the first autonomous community in Spain to use the technology platform.
