Centegra Health System has selected Dell’s Unified
Clinical Archive (UCA) solution to manage its growing archive of
diagnostic images.
Centegra, a two-hospital system with multiple clinics serving northern
Illinois, needed to consolidate existing Picture Archiving and
Communications Systems (PACS) for cardiology and radiology, and was
seeking a way to reduce or eliminate the costs associated with migrating
images and adding hardware to meet growing storage capacity demands.
Centegra also wanted to future-proof its medical image archive and
retain the strategic freedom to switch imaging applications as needed.
Currently the health system generates some 233,000 images per year.
With Dell’s flexible UCA solution, Centegra will store images long-term
in the Dell Cloud Clinical Archive while maintaining five years’ worth
of images on-site for instant access. The cloud archive stores two
copies of every image at geographically separate locations, providing an
efficient disaster recovery strategy without the need to maintain and
manage a second data center.
Based on its recent analysis of the enterprise imaging informatics
market, Frost & Sullivan recognized
Dell Healthcare and Life Sciences with its 2012 North American Company
of the Year Award, noting that “Dell's Unified Clinical Archive has set
the standard for cloud-based enterprise-wide management of
medical images.”
The Dell Cloud Clinical Archive is now managing more than 78 million
clinical studies and more than 5.4 billion diagnostic imaging objects,
and supporting more than 800 clinical sites in one of the world’s
largest cloud-based, vendor-neutral medical image archives.
Since 2008, Centegra has also been engaged in a full IT outsourcing
relationship with Dell Services. Dell Services manages and maintains a
sustainable infrastructure IT environment to support Centegra’s growing
organization. Through this partnership, Dell Services provides
application management, infrastructure management, project management,
datacenter hosting and service desk capabilities. Dell’s healthcare
consulting team is also providing Centegra with skilled staff, strong
best practices, and a proven delivery model for the implementation and
optimization of its McKesson Paragon information system.
Quotes
“With the vendor-neutral archive and the ability to support both DICOM
and non-DICOM data, Dell has greatly simplified medical image management
for Centegra,” said David Tomlinson, Centegra’s chief information
officer. “We expect to see significant cost savings with Dell’s
pay-as-you-go pricing model, as well as better control of our long-term
storage infrastructure and data management costs.”
“The ever-growing volume of clinical imaging procedures is demanding
more storage on multiple systems, and hospitals require technology
solutions that can do more than simply store electronic patient data,”
said James Coffin, Ph.D., vice president and general manager of Dell
Healthcare and Life Sciences. “Dell is pleased to be working with
Centegra to tailor a long-term image archiving solution that meets their
unique needs.”
