To achieve healthcare’s complex objective of delivering outcomes-based care while reducing unnecessary costs, we see new opportunities for efficient collaborative practice across the continuum of care as underutilized medical images evolve into a strategic asset of the organization.

We believe that the ability to maximize image value through an imaging platform convergence will become a competitive advantage for our customers. Not only does the opportunity exist to improve the clinical, operational, and fiscal performance of a hospital, but ubiquitous access to patient images can also help foster an environment of collaborative and informed patient management, supporting today’s model of shared decision making and value-based care.

We are committed to support our customers’ delivery of quality care with Enterprise Imaging services that empower physicians to make informed decisions through multi-specialty collaboration, utilizing secure access to a single comprehensive patient imaging record, thereby advancing improved patient care and streamlined costs.

Our lives are constantly improved by innovation that converges technologies and disrupts the status quo, bringing benefits to both our professional and our private lives. Your own smart phone, for example, converges dozens of once standalone devices and applications, delivering significant convenience and cost savings.

Similarly, Electronic Health Records (EHRs) converge multiple patient information systems that were once standalone, uncommunicative silos.

By empowering image information management with a single, converged platform, Agfa HealthCare Enterprise Imaging is disrupting the departmental PACS and VNA world, to meet the challenges of today’s enterprise-wide economic and quality care imperatives. Enterprise Imaging is designed in modular services to anticipate the needs of your greater healthcare system: from department image acquisition workflows through interoperability of disparate systems, to clinical decision drivers and patient experience enhancement.

Agfa HealthCare’s innovative convergence approach makes visual information a strategic asset to support your care system goals.

No other vendor can deliver what we have — a purpose-built set of services designed to converge cross-network medical knowledge and advance value-based care from image and document acquisition to management to distribution.

Clinical intelligence – Enterprise Imaging is designed to advance collaborative practice and shared decision making as well as referring physician compliance with evolving imaging order standards.

Visual Healthcare optimizes the EHR to financially support clinical confidence and informed diagnoses. Access to and exchange of multi-specialty information, without unnecessary redundancy, aligns your enterprise with your goals of quality outcomes and cost containment.

Patient experience – Visual Healthcare delivers patient-centered information and can improve understanding of medical conditions, timely access to clinical treatment, and personal engagement, contributing to patient satisfaction and loyalty. We are committed to support our customers in their quest to minimize risk of patients shifting to alternative sites of care. We believe that providing a comprehensive care continuum is an important differentiator for our customers.

It’s the way we connect it together that sets us apart.

Risk mitigation – Enterprise Imaging enables accurate attribution of episodes of care, providing actionable information for realtime intervention and future documentation, if needed. Standardization of workflows and access to images through the EHR, rather than rogue media, support the reduction of HIPAA security breaches.

Change management – Learning to embrace new technologies can be challenging, especially in such a time-critical environment as healthcare. Agfa HealthCare specialists are focused on providing user interfaces and workflows that so clearly enhance workability, clinicians can adopt easily. We are committed to provide our customers with the right tools needed to advance performance on individual measures to help standardize processes and support fee-for-value initiatives.
