PATIENT DATA MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE

Agfa HealthCare's hospital-wide IT solution, ORBIS™, offered in a modular format, manages and monitors all patient-oriented processes: medical, nursing, administrative and business.

ORBIS enhances the quality of patient care and provides fast and complete availability of patients' histories, including all images and data. Accurate real-time patient data and histories are made available to authorised nursing, technical and medical staff, allowing for quicker and better diagnoses and treatments.

The modular design of ORBIS allows for a non-disruptive implementation at the pace of each individual institution. Today, over 850 customers in Europe and the United States actively use ORBIS in their facility, totalling over 500,000 users.

PICTURE ARCHIVING AND COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS

Agfa HealthCare is a leading player in Picture Archiving and Communications Systems (PACS). The company recently introduced seven IMPAX™ suites. The suites, ranging from enterprise solutions for multi-site healthcare facilities, to specialised mammography, cardiovascular, radiology and orthopaedic systems, are designed to provide facilities and clinicians with more focused solutions for their diagnostic imaging needs.

Agfa HealthCare’s IMPAX suites are an integration of several modules into one, each designed to support specific enterprise or departmental activities and to meet very specific clinical needs.

All suites offer the latest Agfa HealthCare PACS and Radiology Information System (RIS) and are delivered with state-of-the-art clinical applications, designed for the specific environments in which they will operate.

COMPUTED RADIOGRAPHY SYSTEMS

From desktop and compact solutions to groundbreaking Computed Radiography (CR) systems that fill the gap between CR and DR, Agfa HealthCare today is able to offer its customers the right solution for every facility of any size.

Each solution has been developed to meet specific needs of the most demanding clinical and workflow demands and to improve the delivery of patient care. All Agfa HealthCare digitisers offer the intuitive NX touch-screen interface user station, the radiographer's image identification and a quality-control tool.

All Agfa HealthCare’s CR solutions integrate with PACS, RIS and HIS that comply with current medical imaging standards. MUSICA²™, Agfa HealthCare's latest intelligent and automated digital radiography image processing software, is now available for the entire CR solutions range.

RADIOLOGY FILM AND PRINT SOLUTIONS

The modular designs and built-in networking connectivity make Agfa's digital hardcopy imaging solutions the logical choice for point-to-point or networked environments.

All DRYSTAR imagers are equipped with Agfa HealthCare`s direct digital imaging technology enhanced with A#Sharp™ for consistent and sharper image quality across all applications.
