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.
