LINKÖPING, Sweden, Feb. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- International
medical imaging IT and cybersecurity company Sectra (STO: SECT
B) has received an order for its radiology imaging solution from
the British SWASH consortium of NHS Trusts (Salisbury, Wight, and
South Hampshire Domain Trusts). The consortium has prolonged its
radiology imaging contract with Sectra and will consolidate its
four existing solutions into one. This will allow for efficient
access and collaboration around patient imaging and reduce
complexity, while also improving enterprise-wide access.
"We have high-production radiology departments where system
availability and efficient workflows are crucial to deliver the
quality of care that our patients demand. With Sectra's solution,
we achieve that," says Dr Mark
Griffiths, Clinical Lead for SWASH. "Consolidating the four
existing solutions will further support efficient collaboration
within the consortium, and we are looking forward to continuing to
develop our radiology and enterprise imaging together with Sectra."
The SWASH consortium has had Sectra as its radiology imaging
vendor since 2013. In total, it serves a population of over 3.1
million residents. The NHS Trusts involved in the consortium
include Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust, Isle of Wight NHS Trust,
Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust, Solent NHS Trust, Southern Health
NHS Foundation Trust and University Hospital Southampton NHS
Foundation Trust.
The shared solution and new IT infrastructure make images and
information directly available across the region. The solution also
provides a holistic view of the patient's data through the ability
to make prior imaging visible in a single view at any of the
trusts, including cardiology, medical photography, obstetrics,
pathology macro imaging and dose information.
The eight-year contract was signed in January 2020 and the solution is expected to
allow the consortium to manage 1.75 million exams per year.
The IT solution for handling radiology images (Sectra PACS), as
purchased by SWASH consortium of NHS Trusts, is part of Sectra's
enterprise imaging offering. It provides a unified strategy for all
imaging needs and improves patient outcomes while lowering
operational costs. The scalable and modular solution supports the
most image-intense departments-radiology, breast imaging,
pathology, cardiology and orthopaedics. Being built on the same
technical platform, customers can easily extend a departmental
solution to create a comprehensive VNA. Read more about Sectra's
