1 What good would having all your images on a single platform do? HealthCare Enterprise Imaging

2 If you no longer had a separate radiology PACS, separate cardiology PACS, separate VNA, separate viewer If all your images, from anywhere, were available to all involved caregivers across the care continuum, what differences would you see? 2

3 So much more than a VNA 3

4 Converge Converge Close the gaps separating you from your goals! Are your imaging systems helping you reach your goals? They should be, but duplicated caches, separate databases, different interfaces and more can slow your image retrieval. What s more, ensuring that everything is integrated and up-to-date can take a lot of your time and effort. With Enterprise Imaging, you have a single platform to align with your vision: every image, everywhere, at every moment. From radiology to cardiology, from ophthalmology to dermatology, it s all there, accessible and manageable. 4

5 We ve brought together departmental PACS, RIS, advanced 3D, voice recognition, VNA, viewer and mobile functionality into a workflow-centric platform that you can adopt step-by-step, at your own speed. 5

6 Share Where are your images? Everywhere! Images don t just come from traditional departments anymore. While radiology, cardiology, etc. remain big image producers, key imaging information is now being captured anywhere, inside and outside the hospital. Enterprise Imaging helps no image to be left behind: the photo taken with a smartphone by the dermatologist is available just as easily as the latest chest X-ray. So you have a true vision of the entire medical imaging record, enhancing your ability to make informed decisions about the patient s care. Collaborate The key to patient-centric care Patient care is no longer about encounters or episodes : it now focuses on a holistic, value-driven approach. And this new model requires seamless collaboration all along the care continuum. Enterprise Imaging is dedicated to making that happen. A single platform means less time to find and access images, while the zero footprint Enterprise Imaging XERO Viewer makes those images securely and quickly available on almost any device desktop or mobile with just a common browser. Referrals are simplified, diagnosis and reporting are faster, and caregivers can spend time more productively with each patient. 6

7 Care Empowered patients, satisfied staff Perform More meaningful imaging Healthcare may be about people, but you can t deny the importance of data and information. The growing number of studies (big data) and their increased complexity make management, storage and sharing an ever-greater challenge. Enterprise Imaging helps you put all that information to use, creating added value and saving time. Today s healthcare model involves both caregivers and patients. With easier access and exchange of multi-specialty images, all players in the patient s care are empowered and involved. Getting a second opinion across disciplines becomes as easy as consulting with a colleague in your department. So treatment and turn-around are faster, and exam duplication may be decreased, which not only saves time and money, but also potentially reduce patient dose exposure. With less waiting time for the patient, hospital stays may be shorter. Overall, your staff and patients are more satisfied with the patient care process. 7

8 Step into an imaging ecosystem that enhances and speeds up image acquisition and retrieval, optimizes system efficiency and performance, supports your patient care goals, and allows true collaboration across departments, hospitals or regions. 8
