Europe's most extensive healthcare IT programme takes off
Today, the South East Trust in Northern Ireland, comprising five hospitals, is live with Sectra RIS/PACS. These are the first of 25 hospitals, together performing more than 1 million examinations per year, that will be connected in one common radiology IT solution called NIPACS.
In October last year, Sectra signed a 31 million GBP contract with the Department of Health to provide an integrated solution for digital management of all radiology information and images throughout the entire public healthcare system in Northern Ireland.
"I have been very impressed by the magnificent equipment which really is of the highest specification, and its proven potential for improving services", says Michael McGimpsey, the Minister for Health, Social Services and Public Safety in Northern Ireland. "This will result in quicker diagnosis and treatment for patients, and will contribute to a much more efficient and productive health and social care system".
