Tieto Caretech, x-tention, and Better Announce Strategic Partnership: Advancing Open Healthcare Data Platform

Details

Tieto Caretech, x-tention, and Better announced a strategic partnership to provide the 'Lifecare Open Health Suite,' an integrated medical IT platform based on open standards. This initiative aims to solve problems associated with outdated, monolithic hospital information systems and data silos in the DACH region. The suite is a modular ecosystem built upon international standards such as openEHR and FHIR, designed to integrate clinical and operational data. By eliminating vendor lock-in and providing true freedom of choice, it allows healthcare organizations to achieve a unified, person-centered view of care. Each partner contributes specific components: Tieto Caretech provides Lifecare clinical applications, the building blocks for a modular electronic health record, trusted in the Nordics. x-tention brings deep service expertise and interoperability leadership, utilizing its MACH | Orchestra Integration Platform alongside consulting services. Better offers an openEHR-based data repository and low-code environment (Better Studio), while also providing safer medication management through Better Meds. Together, the three companies are promoting open standards and modular architecture to build a sustainable digital health ecosystem in the DACH region, offering an alternative to traditional monolithic approaches.
