Fujifilm Selects Acuo Technologies' Universal Clinical Platform VNA to Assist with its Recently Awarded 'Contract for a Single Picture Archiving and Communications Service (PACS) for Wales'

BLOOMINGTON, Minnesota, Nov. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Fujifilm is a pioneer in diagnostic imaging and information systems for healthcare facilities, with a range of constantly evolving clinically proven products and technologies designed to assist medical professionals in performing more efficiently and effectively. The company was recently awarded the contract for a single Picture Archiving and Communications Service (PACS) for Wales and is pleased to announce they have selected Acuo Technologies' Universal Clinical Platform as part of their service solution, providing industry leading vendor neutral archiving (VNA) and data migration solutions.

This national contract has been put in place to provide an efficient and cost-effective Picture Archiving and Communications Service (PACS) across Wales. Fujifilm's Synapse PACS system will offer a fully integrated Web based solution to manage, store, distribute and retrieve images in an open environment. All images will be available on demand, with a two-second response time for in-hospital viewing, providing greater access to patient data when and where required. Comprehensive data security is provided by an SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) network that operates to modern banking standards.

Fujifilm's Synapse will work cohesively with Acuo's Universal Clinical Platform to allow medical images and related clinical content to be interpreted and stored in a common environment, enabling clinicians across all facilities to be able to access patient information using a fully-integrated Web-based solution to manage, store, distribute, retrieve and view clinical content.

Fujifilm chose Acuo's Universal Clinical Platform (UCP) to assist with this project for its VNA-based image archive deployment. UCP will serve as a comprehensive platform for clinical abstraction and life cycle management of all images and related content through an integrated XDS registry and repository solution embedded within the VNA.

Acuo Technologies is a world leader in high-performance software and services for clinical content management and data migration.
