Sectra announced this week that ProMedica, a 13-hospital healthcare system serving Ohio and Michigan, has signed a six-year contract to expand its Sectra PACS into a Sectra Vendor Neutral Archive (VNA).
"Sectra has been a great partner for us in our Epic implementation with its tight integration,” Debi Brobst, ProMedica vice president of clinical services, said in a prepared statement. “We enjoy our relationship with their development and support teams who have allowed us to optimize the PACS environment as it complements our EHR.”
"Sectra and ProMedica have enjoyed a collaborative relationship since 2007,” Mikael Anden, Sectra North America president, said in the same statement. “With our flexible architecture, we are able to build on the existing configuration and provide an enterprise platform that will allow ProMedica to continue delivering excellent patient care.”
Sectra’s VNA was developed to be “both storage-vendor agnostic and workflow vendor independent,” meaning it can communicate with any other systems ProMedica is currently running in its 13 hospitals.
