Evaluating solutions for cross-enterprise sharing

Sharing for better care

In a true patient-centric scenario, hospitals need simple and cost-efficient ways of sharing images and patient information, without compromising patient integrity or information security. A well-implemented solution for information sharing makes this is possible on every level—local, regional or even national. As a result, better patient diagnosis can be made with significantly reduced need for reimaging, in turn providing healthcare with huge cost savings—and reducing accumulative radiation dose to patients. Furthermore, efficient ways to share patient information and images create opportunities to utilize and provide resources, for instance in terms of reporting or competence exchange between different enterprises.
