Agfa HealthCare of Greenville, SC, announced it has signed a resale agreement to market Dutch healthcare IT firm Forcare's interoperability software products as part of its Impax Data Center, which currently serves customers across Europe and North America.
The deal is designed to complement Agfa's healthcare IT portfolio with a cross-enterprise document sharing (XDS) components for health information exchange (HIE) systems that share clinical data among healthcare institutions. Impax Data Center 2.0 supports XDS with a document repository and XDS-I for imaging data. This in turn is intended to improve efficiency and reduce costs, as well as improve patient care.
The agreement enables Agfa to nonexclusively resell software products from Forcare on a global basis, and as a work-in-progress for North America.
