GREENVILLE, SC / ACCESSWIRE / March 9, 2023 / Introducing the Imaging Health Network™ - AGFA HealthCare introduced the single-source-of-truth Imaging Health Record™ (IHR) to empower clinicians with frictionless access to imaging information, so they can find their flow and stay focused on patients. The Imaging Health Network™ (IHN) further advances seamless access to patient imaging across high-volume health networks and affiliates.

AGFA HealthCare - Introducing the Imaging Health Network™ at HIMSS23

The Imaging Health Network™ is an aggregated community health record for medical imaging, in which all contributing providers publish their portion of the patient's journey. At each step along this journey, the patient is assured that the physician has access to the entire cross-provider imaging record. With the IHN in place, care providers can save, view, and access patient imaging information in real time, supporting clinical history confidence.

The latest generation AGFA HealthCare Enterprise Imaging breaks the old paradigm of routing data to the user and instead brings the 'user to the data' via real-time streaming technology.

Mark Burgess, President, North America, AGFA HealthCare, explains: "Our vision for Enterprise Imaging is to act at the intersection of patient care and technology. We believe that clinicians deserve a 'Life in flow,' that enables them to stay focused on the task at hand, without the unnecessary distractions that old-school imaging systems create. The AGFA EI Imaging Health Network™ creates an extended community of shared patient imaging to advance sustainable care. AGFA EI is the backbone that health systems can build upon as they adopt the benefits of the Imaging Health Record™, for all medical specialties that generate or consume imaging."
