Fujifilm Healthcare Americas medical informatics senior vice-president Bill Lacy said: “As we continue to augment our PACS technology, we’re able to address a number of critical customer needs, including a modern IT architecture, security, cost savings, operational efficiencies, streamlined provider workflow, and most importantly improved patient outcomes.”

A next-generation scalable solution, Synapse PACS is designed to support clinical collaboration and workflow efficiency by integrating imaging data across the enterprise.

The technology was chosen by the US DoD to strengthen the government’s current healthcare operations.

Fujifilm’s PACS system will effectively integrate with the US Army and Navy Enterprise Clinical Imaging Archive (ECIA) and the Air Force’s Data Centre (IDC) image repositories.
