Gabriele Monasterio Foundation (Italy) transforms Healthcare Delivery with J4Care PACS
Fondazione Toscana Gabriele Monasterio, in close cooperation with J4care GmbH, has successfully implemented the latest J4Care SMooTH PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) solution. This has revolutionized the foundation’s imaging capabilities and transformed its healthcare delivery. With the installation of the new SMooTH PACS system, the foundation has taken a major step towards improving the efficiency of its healthcare services.
​
Paolo Marcheschi, Head of PACS Research and ICT Development, said: “The new SMooTH PACS system installed by J4care is a state-of-the-art Picture Archiving and Communication System that is designed to revolutionize the way medical images are stored, viewed, and shared. The system is built with cutting-edge technology that ensures faster and more efficient image retrieval, secure data storage, and seamless communication between healthcare providers.”
Since the installation of the new PACS system, the Gabriele Monasterio Foundation has seen a significant improvement in the efficiency of its healthcare services. The system has enabled healthcare providers to quickly and easily access and analyze medical images, resulting in faster and more accurate diagnoses. This has led to improved patient outcomes and a higher level of patient satisfaction. It has also helped the Gabriele Monasterio Foundation streamline its workflows and reduce the time and resources required to manage medical images. Radiologists and clinicians were able to promptly retrieve and assess patient studies, resulting in quicker diagnoses, improved collaboration, decreased turnaround times, and better patient treatment.
​
Marcel Swennenhuis, COO at J4Care GmbH: “It was, and is, a great pleasure to work with the Gabriele Monasterio Foundation’s team. We were able to implement the entire system remotely and had very good and direct online communications.
The Fondazione Toscana Gabriele Monasterio is a leading healthcare facility in Italy. It was established by the National Research Council and the Tuscany Region to manage and develop health and medical research activities. It has two branches: the San Cataldo-CNR Hospital in Pisa and the Heart Hospital in Massa. The Gabriele Monasterio Foundation is committed to providing the best possible care to its patients. It is a center of excellence for treating rare diseases such as congenital heart defects, inherited dyslipidemias, hemochromatosis, pulmonary hypertension, and cardiac amyloidosis. Furthermore, it also supports international health cooperation.
​J4Care GmbH, from Vienna, Austria, is a leading developer and supplier of medical imaging solutions. At its core, J4Care has developed the DCM4CHE-arc-light open source platform for DICOM images, which is being used by thousands of healthcare organizations worldwide. Based on this platform, J4care provides, together with its partners, a range of solutions under the SMooTH brand, including a VNA (Vendor Neutral Archive), which is in use by large regional and country-wide organizations. SMooTH Viewer is a very fast, zero footprint web-based solution for clinicians and patients to quickly access, review, and share medical images. For radiologists, the SMooTHViewer is certified for diagnosis and includes advanced visualization, reporting, and voice recognition capabilities
University Hospitals Dorset introduce a cloud-based Unified Image Sharing System from SynApps, J4Care and OpenText
Hatfield, UK – May 10, 2023 - SynApps Solutions, the enterprise content management specialist with deep experience across the NHS, has been selected by Dorset’s three NHS provider trusts (University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust (UHD), Dorset County Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (DCH) and Dorset HealthCare University NHS Foundation Trust (DHC)) to deploy a proactive image sharing system based on a transient use of its Vendor Neutral Archive (VNA).
​
The secure, cloud-based image sharing portal, built in tandem with partners J4Care and OpenText, enables upstream multimedia data captured within the Sharing Domain to be available proactively and without delay to clinical staff at the point of care within their existing image management systems.
“Previously, we relied on lots of manual workarounds with no effective information flow, which meant images taken at one site would not necessarily be available in another department, leading to duplicate images being taken,” explains Peter Gill, Chief Informatics Officer, University Hospitals Dorset. “There are up to twenty clinical departments outside of radiology that rely on imagery and scans so being able to proactively share them is vital.”
Following a comprehensive procurement process involving 19 potential partners, the Trusts selected SynApps, J4Care and OpenText based on performance, compliance and the fact that they could deliver an architecture based on messaging rather than image pooling.
The project, which begins this month, is expected to complete the implementation for core organisations and radiology within twelve months. It will enable proactive image sharing, cross-network reporting, CDC support, a single view of multimedia data, and image sharing beyond the South East 3 imaging network. This will lead to better patient diagnoses and outcomes.
“Access to older images taken across our network improves diagnostics enormously because we can more accurately track symptoms, such as the growth of a lump,” adds Gill. “SynApps gives us a viewing system that will render all images in a single portal, built on a database of metadata, which can bring together historic images.”
“We are delighted to partner with University Hospitals Dorset Trust as well as J4Care and Open Text to deliver this proactive image sharing platform,” comments Jason Scholes, CTO, SynApps. “By enabling clinical staff to access images from across the network, it will make a positive impact on patient care and reduce waste across the Trust.”
