Carestream Health Signs Multi-Million-Dollar Contract for Healthcare IT Solutions With Veterans Health Administration
The New England Region - also known as Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) 1 - encompasses Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine and Rhode Island.
Carestream Health will provide healthcare IT solutions that include a KODAK CARESTREAM PACS, a regional archive, data migration, network integration and other professional IT services to VISN 1. The company will install its PACS (picture archiving and communications system) along with three years of image storage capacity at each of the region's eight hospitals.
In addition, the company will collect scheduling information from existing radiology information systems (RIS) and create a regional worklist to integrate patient information with each diagnostic imaging exam. It will also create a central regional archive with at least five years of image storage capacity that will be managed by KODAK CARESTREAM Information Management Solutions.
The contract also includes data migration from existing PACS systems, and optional CARESTREAM PACS features such as integrated voice dictation, orthopaedic surgical templates, and native 3-D viewing of imaging exams.
CARESTREAM PACS offers a virtual desktop environment that allows authorized users to access any application, including 3-D processing, from any desktop inside or outside the organization. The platform's dynamic streaming capabilities reduce the need for large bandwidth network connections, even for viewing of 3-D, cardiac CT and other extremely large image files.
Carestream Health markets fully featured RIS and PACS platforms, along with an enterprise-wide storage management architecture that manages DICOM and non-DICOM information stored on various hardware platforms at multiple locations. CARESTREAM Radiology Solutions address the diverse operational needs of clinics, imaging centers, hospitals and healthcare networks, including orthopaedic, mammography and oncology facilities.
Carestream Health, an independent company, has licensed the Kodak brand for use with its own brands - such as CARESTREAM, DIRECTVIEW and DRYVIEW - across its portfolio of leading-edge medical imaging and healthcare IT systems The company employs more than 8,000 people and its products can be found in 90% of hospitals worldwide.
