LINKÖPING, Sweden, March 12, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- International medical imaging IT and cybersecurity
company Sectra (STO: SECT B) has signed a
contract with the Swedish healthcare provider Region Halland to
deliver its radiology imaging solution as a cloud service. The new
service will provide a unified IT system for radiology where images
and information will be accessible across the entire region, with
Sectra assuming responsibility for operation of the system.
"Having a common service for the radiology departments in the
region simplifies our everyday operations and enables more
efficient diagnostics. Sectra's experience in delivering similar
services was important for us when choosing a vendor," says
Inger Hallin, Head of the Radiology
Department, Region Halland.
Regional access to images and information, including radiation
dose monitoring, allows physicians to access a patient's full
radiology imaging history and information, regardless of which of
the region's hospitals the patient has been visiting. It also
creates opportunities to optimize workloads and utilize
specialists.
The ten-year contract was signed in February 2020, and the solution will handle
approximately 200,000 examinations per year. Region Halland has
been using Sectra's solution for breast imaging since
2012.
"Having provided IT support for breast imaging in Halland for
several years, we are honored that they have chosen to expand our
collaboration to include delivery of these critical services. It
shows that our solutions are stable and offer the functionality and
performance required to give patients high quality and secure
care," says Olof Andersson, Regional
Sales Manager, Sectra Sweden.
"The agreement with Region Halland is in line with the overall
trend we are seeing with an increasing number of healthcare
providers looking for suppliers to assume greater responsibility
for the operation of IT systems. This makes it possible for
healthcare providers to devote more time to the beneficial effects
and change management," says Mats Björnemo, President, Sectra
Sweden.
