LINKÖPING, Sweden and SHELTON, Connecticut, June 5, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
International medical imaging IT and cybersecurity company Sectra (STO: SECT B) has been awarded a contract to install its enterprise imaging PACS throughout Sanford Health. The Sectra solution, integrated with the Epic EMR, will enable access and sharing of images and information across the entire clinical pathway.
The Sectra platform will offer consistency throughout the health system and will provide collaboration across sites as well as a reduction in IT complexity. Sanford Health is the largest, rural, not-for-profit health care system in the US and is the largest employer in the Dakotas.
"It is important for us to unify our imaging IT solutions across our broad footprint of patient care," says Allison Suttle, Chief Medical Officer at Sanford Health. "Sectra's solution will allow us to integrate all images and information throughout our healthcare system to continue our focus of providing excellent patient care."
In addition to the enterprise imaging PACS, the five-year agreement encompasses breast imaging, orthopaedics, 3D vessel analysis/lesion tracking as well as teaching file software and a business analytics package. Sectra's universal viewer will allow for all Sanford providers to have access to patient images and information via a zero-footprint web application.
"Sectra has a proven track record of strong integrations and high system uptimes which is crucial for efficient reading throughout a high production environment such as Sanford Health. We look forward to growing together over the next five years and beyond," says Mikael Anden, President of Sectra, Inc.
