New project in Poland - medavis launches into mobile diagnostic imaging

Alliance Medical Group is the European market leader in flexible services for mobile diagnostic imaging with more than 500 mobile and local sites. It operates the largest fleet of mobile MRI, PET/CT, X-ray, CT, portable ultrasound and echocardiography scanners in the UK and employs over 400 radiographers. Although based in the UK, Alliance Medical has subsidiary offices in Ireland, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Germany and Poland.

The highly flexible application and the modularity of the software convinced Alliance Medical Poland to select medavis, from within a highly competitive environment, for the equipping of diagnostic radiology trucks. As this is the first time medavis radiology software has been used in mobile modalities, it represents a step into a new and future-orientated market segment. The project is due to start in March 2010.

Asklepios Signs Master Agreement with medavis

Expansion of the Asklepios “OneIT” Project to Radiology: Conclusion of a Master Agreement for the Use of medavis RIS in Six Asklepios Clinics in Hamburg

Asklepios, Germany’s largest chain of private clinics and medavis GmbH, a leading provider of medical information systems, have signed a master agreement to equip six Asklepios clinics in Hamburg with medavis’ radiology information system. The conversion to medavis RIS as the central radiology information system for the Hamburg clinics will be carried out in the course of the “OneIT“ project for the standardisation of the entire IT infrastructure.

During a detailed selection process, the Asklepios Group evaluated several different vendor’s systems, before finally deciding on the Karlsruhe-based software house’s medavis RIS. “The introduction of a central information system for radiology in Hamburg points the way for the entire Asklepios Group. Besides the integration capabilities, the flexible workflow control and user friendliness particularly recommend medavis”, states Peter Oberreuter, Spokesperson of Asklepios Kliniken Hamburg GmbH.

medavis succeeds in national pilot project in Croatia

The Croatian Ministry of Health chose the University Hospital KBC Zagreb (Klinicki Bolnicki Centar) for its pilot project “National Waiting List”, aiming to optimise the efficiency of all Croatia’s hospitals through an appointment export into a unified national waiting list. The KBC ZAGREB, founded in 1942, is, with 4,700 employees, the biggest university hospital in Croatia and amongst the largest university hospitals in Europe. The KBC comprises 30 different clinics over five sites.

In November 2008, medavis became the first software house ever to be able to successfully meet the demands of the appointment export for KBC Zagreb. At the centre of intense media interest, the Croatian Health Minister opened the  “National Waiting List” project on 20th November, 2008. Currently, 170 RIS workstations are installed which enables the KBC to schedule and perform over 3000 examinations per day. The medavis Croatia team intend to install a further 130 RIS workstations by March 2009. The launch of the SMS appointment notification service for patients is planned for mid-2009.
