Siemens Healthcare is showcasing their Healthcare IT portfolio, including software and hardware solutions supporting clinical workflow and enhanced productivity across both medical imaging and laboratory diagnostics, in booth #4463 at the HIMSS15 Annual Conference and Exhibition, from April 13-15th, at McCormick Place in Chicago, IL. Enabling effective diagnosis, treatment, monitoring, and management of medical conditions, our sustainable IT solutions give providers the information they need to provide quality patient care.
“At Siemens Healthcare, we are focusing on the development of information technology systems that support our industry-leading imaging, laboratory diagnostics and therapy businesses,” said Gregory Sorensen, MD, President and CEO, Siemens Healthcare North America. “Our goal is to provide customers with leading-edge solutions to improve the quality and reduce the cost of healthcare today – solutions that lead to better patient outcomes along with greater efficiency.”

syngo Workflow
syngo® Workflow VB20¹ is Siemens latest workflow platform for imaging. Promoting consistent quality of care, VB20 enhances adoption of dedicated user-centric portals and supports seamless workflows through integration with syngo.plaza, Siemens PACS system. Users can take advantage of a new mobile application and new electronic communication capabilities to enhance patient engagement and promote paperless workflows. In an ongoing dedication to enhancing productivity, syngo Workflow VB20 reduces administrative efforts to generate graphical management-style department KPI’s, and brings a brand-new speech recognition module to better support radiologists and a centralized hub for radiology administrators to streamline their day-to-day tasks. Enabling interlinked information, at every step, syngo Workflow VB20 provides the framework to ensure a successful transition to value-based imaging and care.

teamplay
Recently introduced, “teamplay” is the new cloud-based network² that helps link hospitals and healthcare experts, providing them with the ability to connect, compare and collaborate by acquiring and exchanging data and pool their knowledge. Within hospitals, “teamplay” makes it possible to evaluate the extensive amount of information generated by imaging devices – e.g. scanner capacity utilization, examination times or radiation doses – and compare the numbers against in-house and third-party reference values. This means imaging devices can be analyzed in real-time and their operation optimized based on the results, right down to the individual device level. Because “teamplay” runs on tablets, laptops and desktop PCs, members of the network have flexible access to the information, subject to the appropriate authorization and security measures.
