Under the alliance, both companies will collaborate to offer the gold standard of practice management solutions and services to GP group practices, multidisciplinary primary care teams and consultants throughout Ireland.
Irish GPs are burdened with an ever increasing workload of non patient-focused activities. Administrative and organisational work can limit the Doctor’s ability to spend time with their patients. The introduction of standards and regulations by HIQA into healthcare is putting an additional administrative strain on healthcare professionals.
By offering healthcare practices a broader choice of solutions and services to reduce this workload GPs will be better positioned to spend more time with their patients.
“We are delighted to work with Alpha to complement our existing strong relationships with GPs nationwide,” said Emmet Gilhooley, Sales Manager at Socrates Healthcare. “Alpha’s high quality professional services fit well with the best-of-breed practice management solutions that Socrates has provided to Irish GPs since 2004 and we look forward to collaborating on future projects.”
An equally pleased, Dr Jack Nagle, CEO of Alpha Healthcare, which provides pioneering Practice Management services to GPs and healthcare professionals said "that this collaboration with Socrates will assist GPs and healthcare teams to become more productive and efficient resulting in the delivery of a more cost effective and better health service to all patients while adapting to, and embracing, the fast-paced changes occurring in the health care sector".
