GE Healthcare of Chalfont St. Giles, U.K., has completed the installation of a vendor-neutral digital imaging repository that connects hospitals and medical centers throughout Ontario, Canada.
The network, based on GE's Centricity Enterprise Archive, allows 26 hospital organizations in the Erie St. Clair and South West Local Health Integration Networks to share filmless diagnostic image exams between their facilities. The archive contains 2.7 million exams and is growing by 120,000 new exams each month, according to GE.
The network is part of eHealth Ontario and will provide infrastructure for the Canada Health Infoway and eHealth Ontario initiatives to create a provincewide and, eventually, all-Canadian electronic health record (EHR), GE said.
