Mortsel, Belgium and Greenville, SC - 26 September 2016 - At RSNA 2016, Agfa HealthCare continues to enhance the value of visual information - maximizing its diagnostic usefulness for value-based patient care. The company's commitment to strengthen radiology's role in patient care is realized across its 2017 portfolio, from dynamic imaging powered by award-winning MUSICA® image processing to one converged Enterprise Imaging platform and its specialized departmental workflow and image management services.

In support of RSNA 2016's theme, "Beyond Imaging," Agfa HealthCare celebrates "Care You Can See" - demonstrating the company's commitment to enhancing quality care throughout the imaging chain that is visible to anyone in the healthcare community.

Care You Can See facilitates communication and collaboration for patient care

Agfa's Enterprise Imaging platform enhances clinical collaboration, and its foundation supports the role of the radiologist. Enterprise Imaging for Radiology combines a broad diagnostic workflow spectrum, task based workflow engine, and collaborative features to help improve communication and handoff between each of the different users involved in the diagnostic imaging process. Radiologist-curated capabilities such as accurate protocoling, automatic exception detection, fully integrated advanced image processing, re-defined hanging protocols, and rich native teaching files are a few of the innovative productivity features designed for consistent, predictable, and efficient study management.

Agfa HealthCare will demonstrate how to securely consolidate and exchange medical images, non-DICOM unstructured multimedia information, and paper documents to strengthen satisfaction among clinicians, referrers, and patients. The converged platform is attractive to health systems, as it allows for more enhancements in the future as required by the needs and strategy of the users, targeted at specific clinical use cases and deployed at the hospital's own pace.

"Medical images are assets of the healthcare organization and need to be valued as such," says James Jay, Global VP Imaging IT Solutions, Agfa HealthCare. "With our theme of 'Care You Can See,' we focus Agfa's long proven commitment to radiology to maximize the value of medical images with an interoperable clinical exchange ecosystem. Our Enterprise Imaging solution fosters collaboration, enabling images, from anywhere, to be available to all involved caregivers across the care continuum."
