WMHS selects Agfa HealthCare for CIIM system

Western Maryland Regional Medical Center (WMHS) will rely on Agfa HealthCare’s IMPAX Cardiovascular (IMPAX CV) for all cardiology studies, including cardiac catheterization imaging and echocardiography imaging and reporting.

Also included in the agreement is the IMPAX HeartStation ECG management system, as well as the integration of IMPAX CV with the new hospital’s radiology picture archiving and communication systems, allowing both cardiology and radiology images to be viewed from any secure PC, said Agfa.

Agfa HealthCare will also implement inbound and outbound reporting; integration of IMPAX CV and health information system; an interface to a physician portal; and a data mining tool for developing management and clinical reports.

Lisa Braunreuther, global business manager of cardiology IT at Agfa HealthCare, said: “We are pleased that a facility such as WMHS is using IMPAX CV and IMPAX HeartStation to increase the availability of specialty services to local communities. WMHS is meeting its ongoing commitment to the people of Western Maryland by improving healthcare provider access to cardiovascular images and information.”
