The hospital in the Faeroe Islands will be digitizing its radiology operations. The digitization encompasses a total solution for handling and archiving of radiology images (PACS) and administration of patient information (RIS), which will be provided by the Swedish IT and medical technology company Sectra. The order value amounts to approximately DKK 6 million.
Implementation of a total solution for digital handling of radiology images with tight integration between RIS and PACS, helps optimize the workflow within, to and from the radiology department. This contributes to more efficient and improved patient care.
"We choose Sectra for their explicit focus on providing customers excellent service and support," says Jógvan Dahl Niclaesen at the hospital at the Faeroe Islands. "Sectra has a professional and experienced organization and its system is easy to learn, deploy and maintain and that is crucial for a hospital located on a distant island", he continues.
Digitization facilitates the exchange of information between hospitals and that will be of major benefit for the hospital in the Faeroe Islands.
"This order shows that customers with special demands on stability and service put trust in our well-proven total solution," says Jens Kring, Sales Manager at Sectra A/S. We look forward to help the hospital in the Faeroe Islands to maximize the benefit of digital radiology operations," he continues.
