Managed services for PACS in Saskatchewan to easily add capacity and imaging modalities
The Philips PACS Managed Service Model has allowed Saskatchewan to deploy a single Diagnostic Imaging database that provides a unified longitudinal record across the province, resulting in growth from 600,000 exams per year to 1.3 million. This fully managed service contract provides services to approximately 70 healthcare facilities and 1.2 million people in Saskatchewan. Philips Managed Service has also helped Saskatchewan grow effortlessly, adding hospitals and community clinics as they are needed. Currently, eHealth supports almost 300 Philips radiology PACS workstations that are being used for interpretation/dictation. The managed service model offers a predictable total cost of ownership and easy management compared to a traditional capital purchase model.
