LINKÖPING, Sweden, April 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- International medical imaging IT and cybersecurity
company Sectra (STO: SECT B) has signed a contract
with the Swedish healthcare provider Region Kronoberg to deliver
its medical imaging solution as a cloud service. The platform's
radiology module will be used at the region's radiology, clinical
physiology and breast imaging departments. A shared multimedia
archive (VNA) will store all medical images across the entire
region. In both cases, the solution will enable a centralized IT
strategy and provide physicians with a patient's full imaging
history, regardless of which of the region's sites the patient has
been treated at.
"A new medical imaging solution will allow a more efficient
workflow, increase patient safety and enhance the work environment.
It will also facilitate interaction with citizens and healthcare
providers," says Fredrik Larsson,
Head of the Radiology Department at Region Kronoberg.
The three-year agreement was signed in March 2021, and the service will handle
approximately 165,000 examinations per year. Regional access to all
types of medical images and information will create a holistic view
of each patient, regardless of which of the healthcare provider's
sites the patient has been treated at previously. The radiologists
will carry out both reading and reporting directly in the Sectra
solution. As the native reporting module supports both rich and
structured reporting, radiologists will be able to perform
reporting close to the images, providing the referring physician
with a comprehensive report, without the need to switch
applications.
"Healthcare providers in Sweden
are increasingly requesting IT solutions as a service and for these
solutions to be operated in a cloud environment. This approach
increases security around sensitive patient information, frees up
time for change management and enables resources to be focused on
the output of the IT system rather than maintenance. The contract
with Region Kronoberg is in line with these trends and that is very
exciting," says Mats Björnemo, President, Sectra Sweden.
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 and why it is
