LINKÖPING, Sweden, Dec. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- International medical imaging IT and cybersecurity
company Sectra (STO: SECT B) has secured an enterprise
imaging contract from the South-Eastern Norway Regional Health
Authority. The contract comprises a radiology module and a
region-wide multimedia solution (VNA) to store medical images and
multimedia across all medical specialties. The platform will
increase efficiency and collaboration across the region and beyond,
translating into improved healthcare for its patients.
"We are pleased that we have the agreement in place. The
regional solution is strongly needed and will improve the quality
of patient care. Clinicians will have faster and easier access to
patient information, thus can shorten lead times," comments
Cathrine M. Lofthus, CEO,
South-Eastern Norway Regional Health
Authority (helse-sorost.no).
South-Eastern Norway Regional Health Authority is the largest of
the four healthcare regions in Norway and provides healthcare to
approximately three million people. Initially, the radiology module
will be implemented at Oslo University
Hospital and the intention is for the other healthcare providers in
the region to follow.
The region-wide solution will provide healthcare professionals
access to medical images and information regardless of the
enterprise boundaries. It enables regional standardized work
processes and patient processes. The solution will also be deeply
integrated with the region's Electronic Patient Record (EPR)
solution to provide the care teams with a full patient
overview.
"I'm honored that Sectra has been entrusted by Helse Sør-Øst RHF
to install its region-wide enterprise imaging solution. Our
experience of similar large and complex installations, together
with the solution's modular and scalable capabilities, will enable
them to both meet the challenges they are facing today and support
their ambitions moving forward to make improvements for employees
and patient care," says Petter Østbye, Managing Director Sectra
Norway.
The contract comprises a module for radiology and nuclear
medicine, a multimedia archive (VNA) to store medical images and
multimedia across all medical specialties, in addition to
functionality to share and collaborate efficiently and for patient
dose reporting to the authorities.
Though Sectra has been selected as vendor of choice by
South-Eastern Norway Regional Health Authority the formal contract
is subject to final signatures which are expected before end of
December.
Sectra's enterprise imaging solution provides a unified strategy
for all imaging needs while lowering operational costs. The
scalable and modular solution, with a VNA at its core, allows
healthcare providers to grow from ology to ology and from
enterprise to enterprise. Read more about Sectra's enterprise
