LINKÖPING, Sweden, Nov. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The sites at the
first two local health districts in NSW Health Care are now live
with international medical imaging IT and cybersecurity company
Sectra's (STO: SECT B) radiology imaging solution. The goal
is to provide a common platform that enables seamless sharing of
medical images and related information across Australia's most populous state. By
facilitating secure, easy and immediate access to medical imaging
information, the solution will support NSW Health in providing its
patients with timely, high-quality care.
"I am thrilled that we are now live with the solution and can
start supporting our patients using a state-of-the-art digital
capability. Clinicians will now be able to cooperate efficiently
around medical imaging information, enabling them to share workload
and expertise. Collaboration between Local Health Districts,
eHealth NSW and our industry partner, Sectra, has been excellent
throughout the project, and has enabled us to reach this important
milestone as planned, in spite of disruptions caused by the
COVID-19 pandemic," says Dr. Zoran
Bolevich, Chief Executive, eHealth NSW, Chief Information
Officer, NSW Health.
At this milestone of the project, the hospitals Westmead,
Auburn, Blacktown and Mt Druitt, Nepean
and Blue Mountains Hospital, across the two local health districts
of Western Sydney and Nepean Blue
Mountains, are live with Sectra's radiology imaging solution.
Together, they perform more than 400,000 radiology examinations per
year. In total, as announced in 2019 when the order for the
solution was placed, it will be implemented across 11
organizations, including nine local health districts, the Sydney
Children's Hospital Network, and NSW Health Pathology's Forensic
and Analytical Science Service. Together, they manage a joint
volume of more than 1.8 million imaging exams per year.
The platform is closely integrated with other core clinical
systems at the sites, including the electronic medical record,
patient administration systems and enterprise imaging
repository.
Bart Thielen, Managing Director
of Sectra Australia and New
Zealand says: "Going live at these first two local health
districts is extremely important. It proves that the solution meets
clinical needs and gives us important feedback that we can use to
create value for the hospitals and their patients. I am proud of
and impressed by everyone in all of the organizations involved who
have managed such a comprehensive implementation on schedule and
according to plan."
The solution at NSW Health is part of Sectra's enterprise
imaging offering, which provides a unified strategy for all imaging
needs while lowering operational costs. It is a scalable and
modular solution, with a VNA at its core, that allows healthcare
providers to grow from ology to ology and from enterprise to
enterprise. Read more about Sectra's enterprise imaging solution

The 13-year contract was announced in 2019. Revenue and costs
related to the agreement are allocated across the contract period,
with an increase in volumes to full production as the solution is
implemented at the remaining sites.
