Case Study: Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust achieves rapid DICOM localisation and secure image archiving with BridgeHead Software

Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust cuts DICOM localisation from 10 months to 12 weeks with BridgeHead Software

Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust faced the challenge of localizing and taking control of approximately 15TB of compressed DICOM images before the end of their national IT contract. The Trust needed a solution to store this data in a central repository where it could be protected and made available to current and future PACS systems. They turned to BridgeHead Software for its Vendor Neutral Archive (VNA) solution.

BridgeHead Software implemented its HealthStore VNA, which provided a central repository for the Trust's imaging and other clinical data. The solution drastically reduced the data localization process from an estimated 10 months to just 12 weeks. This ensured the data was migrated before the contract deadline, provided full protection for the VNA environment, and removed vendor lock-in by being application and storage agnostic.
