PHILIPS SEES iSITE SUCCESS AT UNIVERSITY OF UTAH HEALTH CARE
June 16, 2009
Philips has signed an eight-year iSite PACS replacement deal with University of Utah Health Care, the Intermountain West’s only academic health care system. The web-based iSite system is helping University Health Care meet its growing image storage needs and allow access to images across their enterprises.
Instead of upgrading its existing PACS systems, University Health Care replaced its system with iSite PACS to leverage iSite Enterprise filmless distribution and advanced visualization capabilities. University Health Care went live with the Philips system in January and is reporting a positive experience with the iSite PACS solution, highlighting its ability to provide a seamless interface with other technologies.
“iSite PACS features an open API that enables us to connect with best-of-breed clinical and IT applications. We’re leveraging that capability to help us make more informed decisions,” said Richard Wiggins III, MD, director of Imaging Informatics at University Health Care. “We recently integrated iSite PACS with STATdx Diagnostic Decision Support System, a reference technology that streamlines workflow by reducing the time required to research and complete a difficult imaging analysis. This powerful combination of images and information at the point of care greatly increases our diagnostic confidence in complicated cases and has been a critical solution in our enterprise."
iSite PACS is one of the leading medical image and information management system on the market today, capable of serving everything from diagnostic imaging centers to small community hospitals and large multi-scale academic institutions. iSite PACS delivers "always online" long-term storage with the availability to see any study stored?no matter how old?in seconds. Its unique service delivery model includes unlimited user licenses, 24x7x365 service and proactive monitoring, uptime guarantee and disaster recovery service. A standards-based, single database solution, iSite PACS can also be used to provide the image component to an institution's Electronic Medical Record (EMR).
