Carestream to Provide Healthcare Solutions to Veterans

Posted on: Thursday, 20 September 2007, 12:00 CDT

Carestream Health has secured a multi-million-dollar order with the Veterans Health Administration's New England region for the company's premier healthcare IT systems.

Carestream Health will provide healthcare IT solutions that include a Kodak Carestream PACS, a regional archive, data migration, network integration and other professional IT services to VISN 1. The company will install its picture archiving and communications system (PACS) along with three years of image storage capacity at each of the region's eight hospitals.

In addition, the company will collect scheduling information from existing radiology information systems (RIS) and create a regional worklist to integrate patient information with each diagnostic imaging exam. It will also create a central regional archive with at least five years of image storage capacity that will be managed by Kodak Carestream information management solutions.

The contract also includes data migration from existing PACS systems, and optional Carestream PACS features such as integrated voice dictation, orthopedic surgical templates, and native 3-D viewing of imaging exams.
