Fujifilm Medical Systems U.S.A. has earned a 10-year contract with the U.S. Department of Defense and U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs worth $768 million.

A five-year base period and five-year renewal option are covered under the Digital Imaging Network-PACS IV contract.

U.S. government health care providers are now able to purchase and implement technologies from the company's Synapse enterprise imaging portfolio. That includes Synapse 5 PACS, Synapse Mobility Enterprise Web Viewer, Synapse 3D, Synapse CV and Synapse VNA.
Fujifilm introduced its Synapse 5 PACS enterprise imaging solution earlier this month. It's different from the previous version in that it's a server-side platform rather than a workstation image rendering platform.

The DoD and VA are in the midst of a project called the MHS Genesis that will replace their current EHR system. Fujifilm's technology will play an important role in this transition.

MHS Genesis integrates inpatient and outpatient best-of-suite solutions that connect medical and dental information across the care continuum from point of injury to the military treatment facility.

It will support EHRs for over 9.4 million DoD beneficiaries and about 205,000 Military Health System personnel worldwide. It enables the application of standardized workflows, integrated health care delivery and data standards.

In addition to the DoD and VA, Fujifilm systems are also available to other federal agencies that are eligible to purchase from DIN-PACS IV, including Indian Health Services. Twenty-nine facilities around the world have already installed Synapse systems.
