Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), a global leader in health
technology, today announced that Children’s Hospital & Medical
Center, one of U.S. News and World Report’s Best Children’s
Hospitals, is adopting a full suite of Philips cloud-based
enterprise imaging informatics solutions across radiology,
cardiology and subspecialties as part of their ongoing pursuit of
quality patient care and improved outcomes. These solutions will
provide advanced visualization, more efficient workflows,
insightful reporting, simplified archiving, robust decision support
analytics and real-time telehealth collaboration. Moreover, as a
scalable, vendor-agnostic platform, the system will support
interoperability that provides clinicians with a more complete
picture to help increase diagnostic confidence.
As a premier children’s hospital serving five states and more
than 150,00 children annually, Children’s is committed to patient
care and clinical excellence, and continually looks to improve
their patient and staff experience. This is exemplified by their
new Hubbard Center for Children, which will be home to an expanded
Newborn Intensive Care Unit, Pediatric Intensive Care Unit and
Cardiac Care Center. Through their 2017 long-term strategic
partnership with Philips, Children’s continues to adopt
best-in-class and connected Philips technology solutions, including
the latest in enterprise diagnostic informatics (EDI) solutions,
which provide a comprehensive, modular set of advanced software and
informatics, tailored to their needs. These solutions combine deep
clinical and informatics expertise with technological innovation to
securely connect patients, care teams and data across entire health
systems. The visualization and analysis applications use artificial
intelligence to support the clinician at the point of care by
providing clinical insights and improving collaboration among
clinical teams.
“We know that dealing with a child’s healthcare issue is one of
the most difficult times for the families that we support, often
far from home and having to entrust their child’s care to us. This
is why we want to ensure they are getting world-class care by
adopting the latest care-enabling technologies,” said Jerry Vuchak,
chief information officer for Children’s. “Working with Philips, we
are engaging on a more strategic level, being proactive in driving
innovation, integration and standardization. Our goal is to provide
the most comprehensive view of patient data to further aid clinical
decision making that can have a meaningful impact on diagnosis and
treatment and improve outcomes - something we are committed to for
the children and families we serve.”
In addition, Children’s will be implementing Philips
PerformanceBridge, a real-time data insight platform to provide
additional diagnostic imaging workflow and asset optimization to
help improve productivity and reduce costs. Like the other
diagnostic imaging solutions in the Philips portfolio,
PerformanceBridge is vendor-agnostic to provide the Children’s team
a view into all of their imaging assets and to help increase
operational efficiency while helping support planning for the needs
of patient populations.
“We want to help leading health systems like Children’s Hospital
& Medical Center provide the best possible care for their
patients, helping to deliver on our mission to improve 2.5 billion
lives a year by 2030,” said Vitor Rocha, Chief Philips North
America, member of the Executive Committee Royal Philips. “By
taking a systems approach and providing end-to-end solutions, we
can help break down data silos and tailor these solutions to the
unique needs of their patients, transforming how care is delivered.
Ultimately, this will lead to a better experience for their
patients and families and clinical staff, but most importantly,
enable more predictable diagnosis and better outcomes.”
