Case Study: Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust achieves faster, more efficient radiology reporting with Agfa HealthCare Enterprise Imaging

Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust boosts radiology productivity 45% with Agfa HealthCare

The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust was facing a significant challenge due to a 10% annual increase in imaging referrals. Their legacy PACS system was inefficient, leading to major disparities in report filing times—from 24 hours to three weeks—causing frustration for GPs and anxiety for patients. The trust needed a faster, more scalable solution to handle the growing demand and consolidate its imaging archives.

Agfa HealthCare implemented its Enterprise Imaging for Radiology solution, which provided a unified, intuitive platform with powerful workflow tools. The results were substantial, including a 45% increase in productivity for plain film reporting and the complete elimination of the imaging backlog. This allowed for live reporting, enabling GPs to receive results within 24 hours and significantly improving patient care. Agfa HealthCare's solution also delivered financial savings and improved staff satisfaction.
