PACS vendor Agfa will provide its Impax PACS network to St. Joseph Hospital in Veldhoven, the Netherlands. The site, which is installing PACS as the first stop on its path to electronic patient records, will feature a link between Impax and the hospital's current RIS. St. Joseph may also choose to upgrade its RIS to a network from Agfa partner Quadrat, according to Agfa of Mortsel, Belgium.
In other Agfa news, the company has completed integration of its Impax PACS and Quadrat RIS at the Hôpital de la Ville d’Esch-sur-Alzette in Luxembourg. As a result, staff throughout the hospital have instant access to digitized images and associated reports, Agfa said.
Fourteen modalities have been connected into a single network, allowing x-ray, MRI, CT, nuclear medicine, and echocardiography images to be accessed by over 200 workstations located throughout the 397-bed hospital, according to the firm.
