18th April 2012 – JAC Computer Services Ltd. (JAC) today announced that it is now offering a Chemotherapy Management System (CMS) as part of its comprehensive Medicines Management portfolio.

The acquisition, which followed a period of extensive due diligence in the UK by Mediware, JAC and NHS experts, includes the CMS product along with existing employee, partner and client contracts currently deployed in The Netherlands and Belgium.The current CMS solution is suitable for all hospitals, including non JAC customers, who provide oncology treatment services. In addition, the system’s multi-lingual capabilities will support its adoption of the system in JAC’s international markets and will facilitate further expansion in other European territories for the Mediware Group via their new Dutch subsidiary.
“Customers in the UK and Ireland are increasingly looking for broader, more complete solutions from their e-prescribing and medicines management technology suppliers. The addition of CMS to the JAC portfolio gives us a unique ability to deliver a comprehensive medication management solution to the market. The due diligence process included independent assessment by UK based experts in this field and comparisons to National Specifications and it was unanimously concluded that CMS “ticked all the boxes””, said Robert Tysall-Blay, Chief Executive of JAC Computer Services Ltd.
CMS is a web-based solution for prescribing, scheduling and managing chemotherapy treatments. The system’s extensive functionality focuses on reducing errors, streamlining patient management and optimizing efficiency throughout the treatment of care for oncology patients.
