Mediclinic Selects Hitachi Clinical Repository for Connected Health as the Foundation for Its Unified Electronic Patient Record System - Seite 2

With HCR for connected health deployed, Mediclinic is now successfully moving all of its image and data files into a centralized clinical repository. By supporting any image or document type regardless of origin or vendor, HCR has given Mediclinic the flexibility and freedom to use any EPR solution without fear of painful and expensive migrations or expansion costs.

"When we first implemented HCR we were looking at it only from an image-storage perspective. We soon realized it could ingest and store any type of information -- from PDFs and Microsoft® Office documents, to laparoscopy videos and all kinds of images, both DICOM and non-DICOM," said Deon Myburgh, ICT operations manager at Mediclinic Southern Africa. "Our company is on a strong and rapid growth path. As we look into the future, Hitachi Data Systems brings the right combination of product reliability and flexibility to be the best strategic partner for us."

"Mediclinic is a prime example of a forward-thinking organization that understands the importance of enhancing operational efficiencies to better serve its constituents and gain competitive advantage in its market," said Kevin Eggleston, senior vice president, Social Innovation at Hitachi Data Systems. "Hitachi Data Systems is proud that Mediclinic has selected our HCR solution to provide a secure mobile EPR system that can connect its entire workforce. This is the promise of The Internet of Things that matter and it's gratifying to see our connected solutions at work in the real world. These advancements will not only enable Mediclinic to streamline operations and improve data accessibility for its staff, but will help to enhance patient care and deliver a better overall healthcare experience to its customers."
