St Luke's orthopaedic clinic installs digital radiology backbone
5 November 2007 St Luke’s Hospital in Oxford, UK, has installed an Agfa
Web 1000 PACS system, helping to improve both workflow and patient care.
The new system was acquired by a private orthopaedic clinic, run by six
orthopaedic surgeons, that is situated within the main hospital at St
Luke’s.
“At
our facility, the 'before and after' picture with Agfa IMPAX has been quite
dramatic,” explains Jean Leece, consultant radiographer at the clinic.
“Although there is a slight incremental increase in the amount of time
one needs to spend entering patient data into IMPAX, once this is complete,
the system works beautifully. Editing patient files and managing
radiographic images has become a substantially more efficient process.”
IMPAX Web 1000 is a web-deployable PACS for radiology services that
receives, distributes, archives and displays radiographic images, enabling
hospitals to eliminate their reliance on film, improve workflow and bring
new efficiencies to the facility. Through a digital connection to virtually
any imaging modality, departmental units and hospital information system
(HIS) users are able to gain an integrated view of patient data from a
single interface. To top
