The enterprise imaging software for radiologists means that Trusts involved can now share a single instance for radiology imaging.
Surrey and Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust has gone live with new enterprise imaging software for radiologists. Commonality of technology opens up clinical collaboration across multiple locations and brings with it a means to enhance care and safety for patients.
Trusts involved now share a single instance for radiology imaging which means that imaging, such as X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs, are now available across a number of participating NHS trusts.
“We are placing modern technology into the hands of our healthcare professionals, and creating the foundations on which we can build imaging services that meet the needs of our patients into the future,” said Tony Newman-Sanders, consultant radiologist and chief of cancer and diagnostics at Surrey and Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust.
“This has potential to deliver rapid impact for safer care, and to maximise the use of our specialist diagnostic expertise,” he added.
Commonality of technology
The trust is the sixth NHS organisation in the South East to use Sectra’s enterprise imaging solution. Commonality of technology now in place opens opportunities for clinical collaboration across multiple locations and brings with it the means to further enhance care and safety for patients.
Improved access to critical diagnostic information captured at each organisation has implications for safer and better-informed decision-making at the point of care and in the delivery of high-quality diagnostic reporting.
The other Trusts that are already using the same enterprise imaging software are Ashford and St. Peter’s Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust, Queen Victoria Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust, and University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust.
