Dell’s cloud-enabled image management and archival services and lifeIMAGE’s medical image aside Aspen Valley Hospital (AVH).

We talk about an end-to-end solution featuring Dell’s cloud-enabled image management and archival services and lifeIMAGE’s medical image and information-sharing capabilities to reduce costs and improve patient/physician satisfaction.

In clear the aim here is to enables caregivers to reduce the number of repeat scans, eliminate silos of data, cut costs and improve care.

Based on the reality that, the hospital radiology staff was spending hours each day burning images to CD and mailing/tracking overnight packages, which sometimes arrived late or broken, and patients may be exposed to harmful, costly and unnecessary repeat exams, simply because their images cannot be transferred electronically, the addition of lifeIMAGE’s image and information-sharing capabilities appears like a

natural fit.

Henceforth by connecting to the lifeIMAGE network, AVH can securely share exams with outside hospitals, physicians and patients anywhere, who can quickly and easily view exams from any computer or mobile device with an Internet connection.

Connectikpeople may recall that:

1.     since AVH was already using Dell’s cloud-based Unified Clinical Archive (UCA) solution to manage and archive, the approximately 25,000 radiology exams is generated each year,

2.     Dell and lifeIMAGE announced an alliance one year ago and since then have signed five new customers ranging from independent radiology centers to large academic medical centers.

3.     the companies are working with the University of Michigan Health System (Ann Arbor, MI), Memorial Hospital (Gulfport, MS), Turville Bay MRI & Radiation Oncology Center (Madison, WI) and the University of Tennessee Medical Center (Knoxville, TN).
