Agfa-Gevaert Acquires GWI
Agfa-Gevaert has announced that following regulatory approval from the German and Austrian anti-trust authorities the acquisition of GWI was closed on 31 January 2005. GWI is one of the leading European companies active in the fast growing market of Healthcare information systems and the Electronic Patient Record.
Two Belgian Hospitals have
Chosen Agfa HealthCare Solutions IMPAX PACS
The Department of Medical Imaging of the general hospital AZ Sint-Maarten, with two sites in Duffel and Mechelen, Belgium, has decided to install Agfa's IMPAX PACS (Picture Archiving and Communications System) solution to integrate radiology services at both its sites. A decision to invest in Agfa's CR (Computed Radiography) solutions for both sites completes the hospital's digital image management approach.
Additionally, four-site AZ Groeninge hospital in Kortrijk, Belgium, has decided to install Agfa's Electronic Patient Record (EPR), in a further step towards a complete clinical solution. The EPR will be integrated with other modules implemented previously at AZ Groeninge by Agfa, including Agfa's Radiology Information System (RIS), planning, billing and reporting solutions as well as the result server. Third-party solutions such as lab and pharmacy solutions can also be fully integrated with the EPR.
