Sectra PACS achieves a top ranking with Community Hospitals in KLAS report

For the second consecutive year, US healthcare providers ranked Sectra PACS #2 in the KLAS Community Hospital PACS 2008 Report.

"Being ranked 2nd in the Community Hospital PACS market segment two years in a row is a demonstration of Sectra's commitment to our customers, and our ability to consistently fulfill their needs", says Torbjörn Kronander, President of Sectra's medical operations.

KLAS independently monitors vendors' performance through active participation of healthcare organizations. The KLAS report categorizes each vendor product into a market segment in which similar products are compared and ranked based on data reported by healthcare professionals. The evaluations are used by care providers as the basis for procurement.

Since 2005, Sectra has made extensive investments in direct sales and support on the US market. Previously, Sectra provided PACS products and services through partners in this market.
