Bon Secours Health System (BSHS) has launched a €25 million clinical transformation project with healthtech firm Meditech to bring its network of five hospitals under a single electronic healthcare record (EHR) system.

BonsConnect will be the largest private hospital EHR system in Ireland and is expected to improve patient safety, enhance clinical care, increase operational efficiency, and revolutionise the healthcare experience for the 300,000 patients Bon Secours treats annually.

The project will create 30 jobs in BSHS now, with a further 30 positions to be created in September. It will cover the full Bon Secours hospital network in Cork, Galway, Limerick, Tralee, and Dublin, and is to be completed by the summer of 2025.

To facilitate the execution of this project, Bon Secours Health Systems is partnering with Nordic, a global consultancy that exclusively supports healthcare systems to deliver digitally-enabled transformation. Leveraging their clinical expertise, extensive technical knowledge and strategic advice, they will play a crucial role in ensuring the project’s successful implementation.

Bon Secours Health System Group chief executive Bill Maher said: “Bon Secours Health System continues to be unrivalled in the quality of our service, combining the latest medical technologies and approaches with compassionate and personalised medical care. BonsConnect is the next step in our digital journey and will change how care is delivered at our five hospitals, including our new hospital in Limerick, due to open in 2025. This will lead to improved clinical decision-making, more efficient and accurate clinical documentation, and an increased level of access to the right information by the right person at the right time.”
