GE Healthcare and Euromedic Diagnostics have partnered to implement GEs’ web-based PACS to
Euromedic’s facilities in Poland and Hungary. The system is designed to be implemented in 17 Polish and 11 Hungarian sites as well as a central data centre established in each country.
Implementing the web-based Centricity PACS is going to provide more effective cooperation between healthcare professionals, since the system will facilitate image transfer from one hospital to another, and also provide integrated advanced workflow solutions across any location and between multiple healthcare providers. Also the solution not only displays radiology digital images but also any kind of medical images that is created in any hospital department and integrates with existing IT solutions.
“Based on the long history of successful cooperation between us, as well as the superior technical features of the GE PACS installation, we have decided to rely on a solution that fulfills our needs and creates added value for our organization.” Dr Piotr Janicki, chief executive officer of Euromedic International, Poland, said. “By empowering our staff with innovative IT technology, we are significantly improving the services to our patients. This clearly gives us a great technological advantage.” Juergen Reyinger, vice president and general manager of GE Healthcare IT Europe, Middle East and Africa, said: “Our new partnership with Euromedic will accelerate the next wave of technological advances in Poland’s and Hungary’s healthcare systems,” added "Looking to connect multiple institutions, vendors and the local population with a fully integrated IT solution, this ambitious project will definitely be one of Eastern Europe’s role model installations."
