HEMEL HEMPSTEAD, January 9 — Carestream Health UK Limited has been awarded a contract to supply University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust with a package of medical imaging solutions that will support coordinated, collaborative care across the Trust’s hospital sites. The procured CARESTREAM solutions will provide workflow management, clinical repository, diagnostic and image distribution functions as well as analytics applications to simplify medical image management and empower effective integration of services across sites for enhanced patient care.

The merger by acquisition of Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust by University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust in April 2018 created one of the largest teaching hospital trusts in England. The Trust includes the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham in Edgbaston, Heartlands Hospital, Solihull Hospital and Community Services, Good Hope Hospital in Sutton Coldfield and Birmingham Chest Clinic. With 2,700 beds across the four main hospitals, the Trust’s teams treat more than 2.2 million people each year and perform more than 1.1 million radiology examinations.

The Trust’s new contract with Carestream will include access to the CARESTREAM Clinical Collaboration Platform (VNA), the company’s enterprise imaging platform, built around a Unified Core and designed to simplify the consolidation, management and sharing of images enterprise-wide. Alongside this the Trust has also procured Carestream’s Vue PACS solution that includes Vue Reporting; its new Workflow Orchestrator tool, which directs imaging exams to appropriate clinical subspecialists before other available radiologists as needed, to satisfy desired turnaround times; the Vue Beyond business intelligence and reporting dashboard; and Carestream’s web-based, zero-footprint Vue Explorer portal, which provides a consolidated patient portfolio view from multiple data sources.
