Rural Texas health system provides
industry-leading innovation in Wilson County
Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), a global leader in health
technology, and Connally Memorial Medical Center (CMMC), today
announced that CMMC is implementing the new Philips Incisive CT as
part of the healthcare system’s latest investment in innovation to
support the rural Texas communities it serves. The Incisive CT
delivers powerful AI-driven applications, streamlining workflows
for routine exam planning and preparation and patient positioning
to shorten exam times, for an improved patient and staff
experience.
According to the Texas Organization of Rural and Community
Hospitals (TORCH), there are 158 rural hospitals in Texas that
provide care to over 3.1 million Texans, including CMMC, a rural
hospital in south Texas that supports the 50,000+ residents of
Wilson County, residing 20 miles outside of San Antonio. These
rural hospitals serve 12% of the Texas population but cover
emergency and local hospital care for 85% of the state’s geography.
These statistics highlight the importance of investment in rural
hospitals such as Connally Memorial Medical Center and the impact
they can have on the health of local communities.
“We’re committed to providing high-quality medical care closer
to home for our residents, and the new Philips diagnostic imaging
solution will allow us to expand screenings and care to provide an
important addition to our healthcare system,” said Bob Gillespie,
chief executive officer of Connally. “The system will allow our
staff to give residents of Wilson County access to the same
innovations they find in San Antonio, but it will also allow them
more time to focus on what is most important – patient care.”
The system offers many advanced reporting tools with a broad
clinical focus that simplifies the radiologist’s review and
supports increased diagnostic confidence. It also helps reduce the
burden on IT resources by providing advanced interoperability for
integration with a variety of existing informatics systems (e.g.
EMRs), the latest security architecture and predictive maintenance
of equipment to help optimize uptime and prevent avoidable and
costly disruptions to patient care. Together, these benefits will
help provide a better experience for clinicians, greater focus on
the patient experience and improved patient outcomes.
