OREANDA-NEWS. April 04, 2012. ARMADA (MICEX-RTS: ARMD) has taken part in a conference entitled “Automated Control Systems in Public Organizations” organized by the Federal Medical-Biological Agency’s (FMBA) Advanced Training Institute and FMBA Directorate for Projects under Construction. The conference, held on February 28 and 29 in Moscow, was a major event in the industry and was attended by more than 270 people from all federal districts.

Speakers at the conference included law makers, ministry officials and other government officials, including Federal Medical-Biological Agency head Vladimir Uiba. Representatives of federal and regional research and clinical centers and healthcare institutions as well as heads of software development and integration companies delivered their reports at the conference.

At a plenary session, ARMADA was represented by its General Director Roman Kruglyakov, who talked in his report about the group’s cooperation with FMBA, joint implementation of projects to develop medical and social examination, blood supply service as well as plans to bring information technology to healthcare and sports medicine establishments. ARMADA’s representatives made reports at panel discussions devoted to “Medical information systems”, “Information systems in the construction and energy sectors”, and “Information systems for accounting, economic, and financial purposes”. They also made a presentation at a separate stand of MEDIALOG, which is the leading medical information system on the market.

“The recent event is an apt illustration of successful cooperation between the executive authorities and the IT sector. It is a promising forum for discussing topical issues in information systems development in healthcare and exchanging valuable practical experience. FMBA of Russia has vast expertise in certain specialized areas, whereas in others it should use existing methodological practices, and, in my view, the event made it possible to offer industry specialists some useful information which will enable them to sort out their priorities in their future work. First and foremost, the adoption of various information systems and building of infrastructure should not be an end in itself, but should serve the purpose of improving the quality of medical service for people and organizations,” Kruglyakov said.
