By GlobalDataCatering to more than 1.3 million people in five sites of a Canadian community, the health system carries out over 575,000 diagnostic imaging tests a year.
From 2019, Osler has been utilising Sectra’s enterprise imaging solution, initially adopting the orthopaedics module and expanding in 2023 to include modules for radiology, breast imaging, and Sectra’s vendor-neutral archive (VNA).
Sectra Canada president Nader Soltani said: “Many healthcare providers are intrigued by AI’s potential to address workload challenges. The transition from curiosity to full integration into clinical workflows can be a significant leap.
“I am happy that Sectra can make this transition easier for William Osler Health System, and I am grateful for their trust as we support them on this exciting new chapter.”
A component of Sectra’s enterprise imaging solution, Sectra Amplifier Services provides a comprehensive strategy for imaging requirements while reducing operation-related costs.
Having a VNA as an integral part, the solution is scalable and modular, and enables caregivers to expand their services across various specialities and enterprises.
In a related development, Guelph General Hospital in Canada recently began using Sectra’s digital pathology module.
