Radiology informatics firm Aycan Medical Systems has completed installation of its vendor-neutral archive (VNA) at the Indian Health Service's (IHS) Great Plains area office in Aberdeen, SD.
Aycan's VNA will provide centralized redundant storage for disaster recovery purposes and support separate PACS networks operating at IHS locations.
IHS provides healthcare to approximately 130,000 Native Americans living in North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, and Iowa. The area office's service units include seven hospitals, eight health centers, and several smaller health stations and satellite clinics.
