| SMS loses its Northern
European Chief By Dave Creasey Healthcare systems supplier SMS has parted company with one of its most senior European managers. Roger Wallhouse, head of the company's Northern European operations, left the company shortly before Christmas. He had worked for them for over 18 years. HIE has not yet been able to contact Guillermo Ramas, the President of SMS International, based in Madrid, for a comment. However the 're-organisation' may well be linked to the company's third quarter results in 1998 when it announced a profits warning to shareholders following disappointing results in its European sphere of business. SMS is the only European-wide supplier of hospital-based information systems. It has split its business in Europe into three regional operations: Benelux and Southern Europe ; Northern Europe; and Central Europe . It is not yet known whether the heads of these two other SMS operations will survive the re-organisation. |
