PHILIPS HEALTHCARE MEXICO
LATIN AMERICA means that we should work to make sure a patient does not have to go to the hospital in the first place . And if they have to , we should try to make their stay as short as possible so that they can soon return to the comfort of their own homes . Our strategy is to become the best provider of solutions across this continuum of care .”
Integrated Solutions : Worth the Investment
Five years ago , Philips acquired TASY , one of the largest providers of hospital informatics solutions in Latin America . In 2014 , the company signed its first contracts in Mexico , providing four hospitals with complete TASY hospital informatics systems . This system includes all capabilities needed to manage the workflow of a hospital , from electronic medical records to administrative and clinical protocols .

“ True healthcare is making sure a patient does not have to go to the hospital ; and if they do , they make sure they are out of there as soon as possible ”

– Mark Stoffels , General Manager of Philips Healthcare Mexico
“ If you want to improve the quality of care , you need to be able to lower costs while improving patient outcomes . That is nearly impossible without means to accurately measure performance . And for that , software is indispensable . Combining our informatics solutions with a customer service organization , as well as our recently opened Philips Healthcare Academy , we are uniquely positioned to provide an integral solution to our clients ,” Stoffels said .
