Sectra has signed a five-year contract with Children's Health Ireland (CHI) that will see the company deploy its imaging technology to the latter's planned new hospital.
For the first time, CHI will have a single repository for all nonradiology DICOM images, reports, and other key diagnostic information. Medical images will no longer be restricted to storage on individual devices on which they are captured, but will be consolidated into an accessible vendor-neutral archive and integrated with CHI’s electronic health record.
A new PACS specifically for ophthalmology will also be deployed and configured to address discipline-specific needs.
Patients and families will also be able to securely send images and videos to healthcare professionals and have access to their own images.
