Jinan, China, December 3 2014 – Barco, a global market leader in Healthcare image solution, announces that it has been selected by the Shandong Provincial Hospital group to implement a comprehensive telemedicine system across 204 hospitals and clinics in China’s Shandong province. The largest system of its kind in the country will enable the group to extend its highly rated medical care to more patients in the region.Remote diagnostics
Doctors and specialists from Shandong Provincial Hospital offer guidance and expert advice to a host of subsidiary clinics and hospitals in the region. Quality telemedicine, however, heavily depends on the right display systems to enable confident remote diagnostics. Looking to further improve these telemedicine services, the group has called on Barco to provide the necessary state-of-the-art visualization solutions.
Mr. Richard Li, Director at Barco Healthcare China, comments: “As a result of this deal, a total of 204 hospitals in the Shandong province and elsewhere in western China will each be provided with two Eonis 22” clinical displays, representing a staggering total of 408 units.”
Networked quality assurance
The Eonis 22” display provides Shandong Provincial Hospital group with a reliable solution for hospital-wide viewing of clinical data and images. The cloud-based MediCal QAWeb software suite for DICOM calibration and Quality Assurance ensures that the smallest details of DICOM images are displayed exactly the same in every hospital.
Healthcare IT and PACS administrators can track image quality across the healthcare organization to assure consistent images. Specialists at multiple locations can rest assured they are focusing on the right details. The resulting improved efficiency and increased diagnostic accuracy offer a major boost to the quality of service of the Shandong Provincial Hospital Telemedicine Center.
