Mawell, a Nordic company specialising in health care technology, and GE HealthCare, an international company producing health care software, will construct a solution for the health care district of Southern Denmark which enables distribution of data between the different hospitals through the RIS/PACS (Radiology Information System/Picture Archiving) systems of various suppliers.

“We want to secure effortless treatment and, first and foremost, the safety of patients so that the availability of medical statements will not become a bottleneck. Medical imaging is a support function needed for other specific sectors for making a diagnosis and preparing procedures. Patients may have the radiography performed in a location most suitable for them, and a specialist may issue a medical statement through the system from the most opportune location and at the most suitable time. In our district the new system facilitates for example the arranging of mammography screening," says Bryde Nielsen, IT Project Manager of the Health Care District of Southern Denmark.

“Building this solution is an important step in patient treatment in Denmark. With this solution, clinicians receive more rapidly a reply for their request for medical statements, which will soon reflect on the district’s patients as they can enter treatment more quickly than before. The health care district obtains savings, which also benefits the economy of the municipalities and further the residents of the district," says Nino da Silva, Executive VP & Sales- and Marketing Manager from Mawell. “Mawell is proud to be selected as a partner for this project which will prove the value of web-based technology in enhanced cooperation and communication and improved patient safety in health care."

“Thanks to our cooperation with Mawell, we can now, for the first time in Denmark, make the different RIS/PACS systems of various suppliers, linked to the GE Centricity Image Distribution system, work together and form an integral radiology system for the Odense University Hospital and the ten other hospitals of the district. In the second phase of the project, the regional solution will be integrated with other regions in Denmark as well as to the country’s national solution which is currently under construction,” says Thomas Anderzon, Integrated IT Solutions Nordic Business Manager from GE HealthCare.

The solution of the district of southern Denmark connects the Odense University Hospital with ten other hospitals, comprising a total of 75 diagnostics rooms, 140 RIS/PACS rooms, 30 RIS rooms, 90 clinical working rooms, and 20 radiological group work rooms. With web-based technology, over 2,000 physicians and nurses working in our region have access to patient data, images and have the possibility to place orders for radiological examinations. The total amount examinations involving medical imaging in the area is approximately 900,000 annually.

The Infobroker integration and communication platform, included in Mawell’s M7 solution for medical imaging, enables connections between wards, units, hospitals, as well as virtual and geographical regions. The Infobroker platform, which complies with health care standards, integrates the health care data systems from different suppliers seamlessly, thus enabling fully automated data communication. Automated data communication through Infobroker improves the quality of diagnostics, patient safety, efficiency and allocation of resources, as well as increases flexibility and possibilities to operate across the boundaries between different units, paying attention to the entire patient treatment chain.
