Following radiology and cardiology image data, a range of other ‘imaging rich’ departments will be added to the Enterprise Imaging platform over 3 years. These include Cardiology ECGs, Ophthalmology, Medical Photography, Speech and Language Therapy (SALT), Obstetrics and Gynaecology, ICCU, Endoscopy, Urology, Point of Care, Laparoscopic and Theatre Monitoring. The medium term plan is to enable and automate the visualisation of all these departments imaging embedded within the hospital’s MEDITECH fully integrated EPR.

Visually enabling the hospital for better patient care


“Having worked with Agfa HealthCare’s solutions for many years, we are confident in working closer together, as we know they share with us a common vision and goal: visually enabling our hospitals in order to deliver improved patient care,” says Andy Hart, Director of IT and Information Governance, City Hospitals Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust.

“As a valued customer, we are absolutely delighted that City Hospitals Sunderland has become the first UK site to implement our full Enterprise Imaging platform and look forward to the next phase of our long standing relationship. Working together with the Trust we aim to provide a platform that meets and exceeds their business and clinical needs to visually enable the Trust’s EPR with all types of imaging data, eliminating information bottlenecks and silos. ” says Grant Witheridge, General Manager of Agfa HealthCare UK.
