LINKÖPING, Sweden, April 17, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- International
medical imaging IT and cybersecurity company
Sectra (STO: SECT B) has signed a
ten-year contract to install its solution for handling radiology
images, Sectra PACS, across the radiology and nuclear medicine
departments at Deventer Hospital in the
Netherlands. The solution will support increased reading
efficiency through its performance and comprehensive tool set,
thereby improving patient outcomes.
"It was important for us to select a dedicated and experienced
vendor and with Sectra we'll have a partner that will enable us to
meet demands both today and in the future. The solution's track
record of high system availability and its ease of use will help us
achieve increased productivity and improved care of our patients,"
says Shira de Bie, Radiologist at
Deventer Hospital.
The clinicians at Deventer Hospital will carry out both reading
and reporting directly from Sectra PACS. The solution will be
tightly integrated with the EMR system providing clinicians with a
complete patient overview in a single application. They will also
have all tools available from one workstation, anywhere in the
enterprise, which removes the need to switch between workstations
to access the tools and information needed.
Deventer Hospital treats approximately 300,000 patients and
carries out around 125,000 radiology examinations each year. The
contract was signed in April
2019.
Sectra PACS, as purchased by Deventer Hospital, is a key
component of Sectra's enterprise imaging solution and enables
consolidation of image handling, while ensuring clinical workflow
efficiency. The enterprise imaging solution is modular and supports
the most image-intense departments—radiology, pathology, cardiology
and orthopaedics. Being built on the same technical platform,
customers can easily extend a departmental solution to create a
comprehensive VNA and enterprise image management solution without
major investments or the replacement of existing components. Read
