Blackrock Health CEO Caroline Whelan said: “Improving patient care is always at the heart of the decisions that we make at Blackrock Health and that is why we are investing €25m to digitally transform the way we work across the group which, in turn, will enhance clinical care and patient safety for the 325,000 patients we treat annually. 

“We are excited to embark on this three-year journey alongside our partners at MEDITECH, which will enable staff across our four clinics to work in close collaboration and our patients to access one single health record at any of our clinics.”
