AGFA HealthCare is thrilled to announce that Enterprise Imaging has been selected by the Greek Government for adoption in the country’s public hospitals. This prestigious contract, awarded via Greek AGFA HealthCare Partners Computer Solutions and Intracom Telecom, encompasses the implementation of Enterprise Imaging in 37 public hospitals across two health regions in Greece (the second and fifth health region of Greece). The collective aim of the project is to modernize hospital operations and significantly reduce operating costs through advanced technological solutions.

AGFA HealthCare’s solutions were selected for this significant project due to its exceptional proven performance, robust local partnerships, and ability to meet the very specific administrative requirements. In addition, its commitment to delivering high-quality solutions and its track record in the healthcare sector were key factors in securing the contract. The implementation of Enterprise Imaging will enable the efficient and secure management of medical imaging records.  The hospitals perform over 2 million annual imaging examinations, and so modernizing their image management will enhance the hospitals’ operational capabilities and support the efficient delivery of care to patients.

The collaboration of the AGFA HealthCare teams, with local deployment and Service Partner Computer Systems and hardware Partner Intracom Telecom, brings together the best of technology and expertise, helping ensure the success of this initiative.

Silvio Selvaggio, Regional President for Direct Export, comments:
“This project is not just a technological upgrade but a leap towards more efficient and patient-centric healthcare in Greece. We are honored to be entrusted with this crucial project, and are committed to delivering a transformative solution that will enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the Greek public health system. By integrating cutting-edge solutions, we are paving the way for a future where healthcare providers can deliver superior care through streamlined processes and enhanced data management”.

“Our strong local presence and deep understanding of the healthcare landscape in Greece have been instrumental in forming this partnership. We are excited to work alongside AGFA HealthCare to deliver a solution that will significantly improve the operational capabilities of public hospitals in the region,” says Spyros Pazianas, CEO at Computer Solutions in Greece.

“The success of this project requires the highest quality and clinically astute hardware. We are excited to supply this project with cutting-edge equipment that will support the implementation of Enterprise Imaging and contribute to the modernization of Greece’s public hospitals,” says Ioannis Poulos, Deputy General Director at Intracom Telecom.

The awarded contract includes:

• Enterprise Imaging for Radiology: This unified radiology platform enables every radiologist to work at the top of their craft, with near-real-time access to images, powerful diagnostic tools, shared workflows across sites, and enhanced collaboration.

• XERO® Viewer: This universal viewer enables secure, patient-centric image access from across all specialties in the enterprise, with enhanced viewing, clinical depth, collaboration and sharing, on a single web viewer. It requires no software download of any kind, so every clinician can quickly and securely access medical images and reports from any location, for faster decision-making.

The project’s Go-Live is scheduled for August 2024, and teams from all organisations are collaborating diligently to ensure a seamless deployment. AGFA HealthCare and its valued partners are certain that Enterprise Imaging will support the Greek Government to uphold the highest standards of quality across its huge operation, and we affirm our wholehearted commitment to forming an excellent relationship.
