Augmented intelligence (also known as artificial intelligence, or AI) and machine learning are fueling innovations in healthcare to address the pressing clinical needs of care providers. At the 2017 Radiological Society of North America annual meeting (RSNA 2017), Nov. 26-Dec. 1 in Chicago, Agfa HealthCare will be demonstrating its latest work-in-progress visions for AI through workflow optimized integration of Agfa HealthCare's Enterprise Imaging solution with products offered by IBM Watson Health, RadLogics and Mindshare Medical.
In a move to adopt a single-vendor imaging informatics platform for its system-wide needs, WellStar Health System signed a new agreement with Agfa HealthCare for the company's Enterprise Imaging platform. The comprehensive suite of enterprise software applications will allow the health system to connect its clinicians with patient imaging information across multiple hospitals and hundreds of ambulatory care locations across Georgia.
In the quest for value-based care, IT healthcare professionals face challenges including barriers imposed by inaccessible and siloed images. The most effective Enterprise Imaging solutions provide a purpose-built integrated platform to drive image-capturing workflows, deliver real-time collaboration and facilitate quality care. Learn the Top 7 Tips for selecting the right Enterprise Imaging approach in this Logicalis Healthcare Solutions white paper.
MedRay Imaging, a private imaging clinic in Vancouver, B.C., Canada, recently turned to Agfa HealthCare to advance its value-based care initiative by delivering the benefits of direct (digital) radiography (DR). This development supports the clinic's mission to optimize the experience and care of patients, provide a smooth, efficient workflow for clinicians, and enhance the hospital's productivity by making processes more efficient.
Agfa HealthCare announced that it will demonstrate its multi-purpose DR 800 X-ray room, a work in process, at the 2017 Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) Annual Meeting, Nov. 26-Dec. 1 in Chicago. The multipurpose digital radiography (DR) solution — which delivers radiography, fluoroscopy and advanced clinical applications in one single system — is enriched with Dynamic MUSICA image processing and the new X-Team Technology for viewing and communicating.
A single investment for all your applications: Radiography, fluoroscopy and advanced clinical applications, the DR 800* can do it ALL! And it’s powered by Dynamic MUSICA,** pushing versatility to the limit
The new Agfa HealthCare movie "Enterprise Imaging crosses the tipping point" takes viewers on a journey around the world to visit hospitals that have adopted enterprise imaging. Through real customer cases and third-party studies, it demonstrates the impact of moving from departmental image management systems to enterprise-wide solutions.
As we strive to increase value and decrease cost of health delivery, clinical collaboration and efficiency become key objectives. Interviews with executives of leading health systems in Frost & Sullivan whitepaper “Health Imaging: Vision for 2027” illustrate long-term benefits of creating the ‘Imaging Health Record’ to steer clinical, operational and financial decisions. Frost & Sullivan analysts conclude that an integrated platform approach is fundamental to aligning enterprise imaging with value-based care.
A battle is raging in imaging IT today. Once a profitable hunting ground for traditional picture archiving and communication system (PACS) firms, new market entrants from the content management, archiving and informatics market are looking to disrupt the status quo. Pushing “deconstruction,” “reconstruction” and “distributed” multi-vendor imaging IT models, they have grabbed the attention of healthcare providers.
