GE Healthcare has unveiled a new designed "In India, for India" low-cost IT solution - GE Centricity PACS Reach, a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) aimed at affordably digitizing India's 15,000-plus small diagnostic centres and hospitals. Centricity PACS Reach endeavours to bring faster image access, greater efficiency and lower operational costs to the market that is traditionally lower in clinical image volume,sa but is growing at a tremendous pace in India's Tier-II and Tier-III cities.
"IT delivers information to the heart of healthcare institutions and to the fingertips of providers and patients seamlessly, anywhere, anytime," said Vishal Wanchoo, President & CEO of GE Healthcare IT. "We are not strangers here. We understand the challenges Indian healthcare is facing between disparate clinics, sparse information sharing, bandwidth challenges and the paperwork barrier. We are committed to begin changing this through solutions that we will develop in India, for India, to help expand healthcare’s reach to more people. "
Priced at roughly one-tenth the cost of comparable imported solutions, Centricity Reach is a compact, web-deployable, image processing, distribution and reporting solution that can be used from within and outside a healthcare facility.
