Johns Hopkins Hospital Launches MediaSuite
Posted on: Friday, 24 November 2006, 12:00 CST
U.S. media firm Pacsgear said this week it opened a MediaSuite at Johns Hopkins Hospital for scanning forms and creating electronic documents.
Among the MediaSuite's functions is the ability to digitize plain film and transmit multimedia images such as JPEG and AVI/MPEG between spatial departments, and the ability to read external CDs, the Pleasanton, Calif.-based company said.
Hospital file rooms and imaging centers are busy environments that need easy-to-use solutions to import media from a variety of different sources, said Pacsgear President Brian Cavanaugh. Pacsgear has been working with The Johns Hopkins Hospital to provide a comprehensive solution.
MediaSuite allows us to give our physicians access to outside imaging studies anywhere in the Hopkin's health system, said James Philbin, director of the Radiology Center for Imaging Informatics at Baltimore-based Johns Hopkins Hospital.
