Baar, Switzerland, April 11, 2024
Ascom, a global leader in healthcare communication and workflow solutions, has
signed a comprehensive framework agreement with Istekki, a significant Finnish
healthcare organization. The 5-year agreement has an estimated volume of EUR 6
million and includes the installation of nurse call systems in acute and long-
term care institutions.
Ascom and Istekki have a long history of collaboration, having worked on various
sites and solutions together and now broaden their cooperation. Istekki, one of
Finland's leading healthcare ICT companies, collaborates with 19 municipalities
and cities in 15 of the country's 23 welfare districts. Istekki's workforce
includes around 1400 technological experts and distinguishes itself by its
ownership structure: it is owned by its end users, who include healthcare and
welfare districts.
In the evolving Finnish healthcare sector, Ascom and Istekki's strategic
decision to collaborate is based on a shared goal of improving workflow
operational efficiency through innovative healthcare communication solutions to
address the growing nursing staff shortage, while also using data to improve
patient care and monitoring. Istekki is critical to the further development of
healthcare solutions and the optimization of patient care. The signed framework
is based on Ascom's Telligence's nurse call for acute care and teleCARE IP. It
will replace the legacy nurse call system.
