Technology outsourcing company Wipro has bagged a 12-year contract from NHS Scotland to build an Enterprise Master Patient Index (eMPI) solution. Jeffrey Heenan Jalil, global head, Healthcare, Life Sciences & Services, Wipro and Andy Aroditis, CEO of NextGate, were instrumental in signing the deal. This solution, which will be hosted in Scotland, will help NHS Scotland to transition from its current legacy Community Health Index System (CHI) to offer cost effective, efficient, paperless and patient-friendly healthcare services in Scotland. The Bangalore, India-headquartered Wipro will leverage NextGate's MatchMetrix platform to enable the eMPI solution to link and manage data from patients, partner institutions and third party organizations.
