Philips PACS interoperability helps Scotland's National Health Service deliver leading breast cancer screening

Streamlining workflows, improving access to better care

The interoperability of Philips Vue PACS with Scotland's Global PACS system makes an individual patient's current and prior mammography images available to all NHS Scotland hospitals, enabling clinicians to compare new scans with prior studies irrespective of where they were performed in Scotland. It also allows the program's regional screening centers to support one another - for example, when staff shortages limit the ability of any one center to cope with the volume of images that need to be read. As a result, patients benefit from faster diagnoses and better-informed treatment plans.
