Heron is an emerging world-leading provider of cost-effective application software for hospitals/clinics in developing countries. The primary Heron offering is the Patient Administration System (PAS)/Surveillance System, called COMPASS - the entry-point to country public health sector computerization in every country.
As of today (November 2010) Heron is the world leader in the provision of operational PAS implementations in three developing countries: Jamaica, Montserrat, and Dominica. These 3 countries are the only ones that have implemented national PAS systems. Jamaica is the only country worldwide that has operational a national e-Surveillance System (Injury). The CDC, the WHO and the PAHO have all recently recognized this leadership position in public health achieved by the Jamaica Ministry of Health.
Heron has brought together a consortium of application software vendors who collectively provide about 60% of an HIS (Hospital Information System). The other specialized software vendors provide the Financial applications; the Materials Management applications; the Pharmacy application; and the Clinical Laboratory application.
