Case Study: Homerton University Hospital achieves PACS-neutral enterprise imaging with BridgeHead Software's HealthStore

Homerton University Hospital saves £1.75m with BridgeHead Software

Homerton University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust faced the challenge of repatriating a vast archive of medical images as a national IT program ended. They needed a vendor neutral archive (VNA) to store, protect, and share this legacy data alongside new images from various departments. To solve this, they turned to BridgeHead Software and implemented its HealthStore solution.

BridgeHead Software's HealthStore was implemented as a central repository, providing a data management layer for the hospital's enterprise imaging strategy. The solution successfully de-risked the Trust's PACS replacement, provided storage flexibility, and became integral to their digital transformation. This journey included digitizing the Outpatients Department, a project set to save the Trust £1.75 million. BridgeHead's VNA ensured clinicians had access to a rich patient record at the point of care.
