"The healthcare industry, and radiology in particular, is sitting on vast amounts of operational data – such as imaging procedure settings and utilization – that is not being used to its full potential," said Robert Cascella, CEO, Imaging Business Groups, Philips. "The future of imaging depends on the seamless integration between data and insights across multiple imaging modalities and medical systems, allowing for greater optimization. Closely collaborating with hospitals, like UW Medicine, we've created a solution that unifies data and unlocks actionable information to help influence and improve radiology practice management."

Philips' Radiology Solutions offers a comprehensive and scalable data-driven practice management platform that leverages its integrated suite of digital health technology capabilities and breadth of experience in healthcare. Developed in close collaboration with hospitals, including UW Medicine, and powered by the technology of Philips' HealthSuite digital platform, this solution uses data intelligence to spotlight what radiologists need to transform their practices to improve patient care and workflows. The solution can be tailored for radiology practices of all sizes and used with Philips imaging and informatics products as well as third party imaging systems, PACS (Picture Archiving and Communications System) and RIS (Radiology Information System) systems.
