GE Healthcare has inked an agreement with Canada Health Infoway for its Centricity PACS and diagnostic imaging repository, according to the Chalfont St. Giles, U.K.-based vendor.
Canada Health Infoway is an independent organization funded by the Canadian government that invests in projects with every province and territory to accelerate the development and adoption of electronic health record (EHR) systems in Canada.
A key element of the Canada-wide agreement is preferential pricing for jurisdictions that implement a shared service where several hospitals agree to use a common PACS and diagnostic imaging repository infrastructure. The agreement will help accelerate the implementation of electronic health records, Canada Health Infoway said.
