Australia-based healthcare communications firm Austco Healthcare has received a A$7.4m ($5.08m) order for its Tacera clinical communications system.
The contract involves supplying the Tacera alarm management and clinical workflow solution for the new St Paul's Hospital in Vancouver, Canada.
Claimed to be the largest contract in Austco's history, it includes a substantial number of patient stations, clinical workflow terminals and interfaces for system integrations.
St Paul's Hospital is expected to open in 2026 and aims to ‘transform’ healthcare by integrating various types of care in one facility.
Austco said its Tacera system will facilitate efficient communication and prompt notification of critical messages across the hospital to improve workflow and patient care.
Construction of the hospital is in progress and revenue recognition is anticipated in the current financial year.
Austco Healthcare CEO Clayton Astles said: "We are thrilled to have won the St Paul's hospital contract, which aligns with our company's mission and values.
“We are confident in our ability to deliver exceptional results for St Paul's.
“This was a competitive selection process, and Austco was the successful bidder based on our advanced technology and experienced team of professionals dedicated to delivering exceptional results.
“This is the largest contract win in the company's history and demonstrates our growing sales momentum and the increasing reputation of our flagship product, Tacera, as the most advanced clinical workflow solution available today."
Austco Healthcare provides healthcare communication and clinical workflow management solutions to companies worldwide.
The company has units in six countries and supports healthcare facilities through its global reseller network.
In 2020, it secured a contract to upgrade the nurse call system at the JurongHealth Campus in Singapore.
This involved refreshing the Tacera Nurse Call platform at the Ng Teng Fong General Hospital and Jurong Community Hospital, which have 700 and 400 beds respectively.
