LINKÖPING, Sweden, Oct. 31, 2019 /PRNewswire/
-- International medical imaging IT and cybersecurity
company Sectra (STO: SECT B) has signed a
five-year contract for its enterprise imaging solution with the
Dutch University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG). With the
solution, image handling across the hospital will be consolidated
to a single solution. It allows for more efficient access and
collaboration around patient images and reduces cost and workload
for the IT department.
With over 12,000 employees, UMCG is one of the largest hospitals
in the Netherlands. As a
university medical center, it has three core tasks: Providing
complex care, training new doctors, and conducting research into
new techniques and treatments, new medicines and new forms of
care.
"It was important for us to find a vendor with an open
ecosystem, industry-leading system availability, a scalable
architecture designed for top level cyber security and with
solutions that are built to continuously improve workflow
efficiency. We share Sectra's vison of enterprise imaging and we
look forward to working together towards increased efficiency and,
in the end, better healthcare for our patients," says Jan Joost van Walsum, Lead Enterprise Architect
at UMCG.
The enterprise imaging solution will span all medical imaging,
starting with radiology, including nuclear medicine, and
cardiology. Together with tight integration with the EMR system
Epic and its departmental subsystems Radiant and Cupid, it will
provide a complete overview of patients' medical records and
facilitate cross-department collaboration around images and
information. UMCG will also use Sectra's vendor-neutral AI platform
to integrate image analysis applications based on AI.
The enterprise imaging contract, signed in October 2019, includes the multimedia archive
Sectra VNA and a common solution for reviewing medical images,
Sectra PACS. The solution will be used for approximately 275,000
radiology exams and about 10,000 cardiology exams per
year.
Sectra's enterprise imaging offering, as purchased by UMCG,
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 enterprise imaging solution and why
