hospitals
Amsterdam, The Netherlands – Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG,
AEX: PHIA), a global leader in health technology, today announced
the completion of a regional informatics project that consolidates
radiology and nuclear medicine imaging data. The Region of Southern
Denmark now has a single system for storing, retrieving, and
viewing clinical images across all the locations and specialties in
its extensive healthcare system.
The Region of Southern Denmark health service encompasses four
hospital groups with a total of 12 hospitals that serve a
population of over 1.2 million people living on both on the
mainland and the region’s many islands. The unified imaging
ecosystem will serve all of the region’s approximately 300
radiologists and nuclear medicine specialists, performing 1.5
million exams yearly. The related images are now accessible to the
over 5,000 clinicians in the region.
“Easy access to medical patient data across complex healthcare
systems fosters clinical collaboration and is essential to advance
precision diagnosis,” said Calum Cunningham, General Manager of
Enterprise Diagnostic Informatics at Philips. “We were able to
implement our Enterprise Imaging solution in record time, helping
the Region of Southern Denmark to move to the next step of digital
maturity, improve collaboration, and ultimately enhance patient
care.”
“An important requirement was solid integration with the
national image registry in Region Sjælland,” said Jørgen Balle
Kristensen, Senior IT Project Manager for the Region of Southern
Denmark. “The Philips Vendor-Neutral Archive has an open,
standards-based design that’s compatible with images in virtually
any clinical format, from any source, so it’s a perfect fit for our
integration needs.”
The region decided to partner with Philips to advance its
digital transformation towards precision diagnosis. The adoption of
Philips Enterprise Imaging solutions has started with implementing
the Philips Vendor-Neutral Archive (VNA) and Philips Universal
Viewer as part of its strategy to replace the existing systems.
These modules provide a single source of archiving and distribution
of imaging information that enables viewing of clinical images
virtually, anytime anywhere by authorized users via a web browser
or mobile device.
Philips Enterprise Imaging solutions combine scalable, modular
architecture that integrates with existing systems to deliver data
and tools across and beyond the enterprise – from radiology data
reporting to enterprise-wide ingestion, distribution and archiving,
to full patient and clinical data management. It consolidates
multiple specialty workstations into a single, multifunctional
workspace that allows radiologists to enhance reporting quality.
