Case Study: Ghent University Hospital accelerates imaging workflows and collaboration with Agfa HealthCare Enterprise Imaging

Ghent University Hospital speeds reading and reporting by 50% with Agfa HealthCare

Ghent University Hospital, a major Belgian teaching hospital, sought to consolidate its two separate AGFA HealthCare IMPAX systems into a single, enterprise-wide platform. The challenge was to enhance image and data management to better support its diverse care professionals, students, and patients while preparing for the evolving role of radiologists as physician consultants. They partnered with vendor Agfa HealthCare to implement its Enterprise Imaging solution.

The solution from Agfa HealthCare provided a consolidated image management platform with new functionalities like the XERO Universal Viewer and rules-based workflow engine. This resulted in a reported 50% faster reading and reporting of imaging studies, improved multidisciplinary collaboration, and secure remote access for diagnosticians. Agfa HealthCare's implementation also future-proofed the hospital's environment, allowing for the integration of new technologies like artificial intelligence algorithms.
