Philips has signed a two-year ultrasound imaging agreement with Adventist Health headquartered in Roseville, California. Philips will provide ultrasound systems for general imaging and cardiac specialties to the non-profit organization, which operates 17 hospitals throughout California, Hawaii, Oregon and Washington. The agreement was designed to standardize ultrasound equipment throughout the Adventist Health System.

Prior to the agreement with Philips, ultrasound imaging equipment and associated customer service throughout Adventist Health originated from multiple vendors and service providers. Coupled with customized pricing, Philips' agreement is helping Adventist Health standardize ultrasound equipment and streamline customer service.



"We try to take a strategic approach to our purchases. So when we were considering new ultrasound equipment, we wanted to make sure that our patients would get added value from it and that it would do more than produce excellent images," said Lowell Church, assistant vice president of Materiel Management, Adventist Health. "After a thorough review, we felt Philips' standardized approach, combining innovative technology and service support, would help increase productivity while helping control equipment and service costs."

Among the new ultrasound systems to be featured throughout Adventist Health is Philips iE33 intelligent echo system designed to help with the clinical needs of managing patients with cardiac disease, such as heart failure, valvular disease and congenital heart disease. For general ultrasound imaging needs, Philips' iU22 intelligent ultrasound system provides expanded volumetric capabilities, solutions for scanning technically difficult patients, interventional tools and new approaches to improve workflow efficiencies.
