LINKÖPING, Sweden, Nov. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- International medical imaging IT and cybersecurity
company Sectra (STO: SECT B) will add its digital
pathology module to the Sectra enterprise imaging solution located
throughout MetroHealth. This will enable pathologists to read cases
from any location, including their homes, and allow for streamlined
tumor board meetings and improved cancer care for patients.
"By offering integration of whole scanned slides and radiology
images on one platform, Sectra represents a huge step forward in
patient care," says Dr. Agnes
Loeffler, Department Chair of Pathology at The MetroHealth
System.
The initial implementation will focus on the development of
workflows around quality assurance within pathology, seamless
integration of pathology with tumor boards, and a teaching and
research database for the 13 pathologists and 9 residents at
MetroHealth. Efficiencies in these workflows will improve the
ability of pathologists to actively participate in patient
management teams. The contract was signed in October 2020.
MetroHealth's staff of 7,800 employees provides care at 4
hospitals, 20 health centers, and 40 additional sites in
Northeast Ohio. Each active
physician holds a faculty appointment at Case
Western Reserve University School of Medicine.
Sectra's pathology module received FDA approval in the US in
March 2020 and is part of Sectra's
enterprise imaging offering. It provides a unified strategy for all
imaging needs while lowering operational costs. The scalable and
modular solution, with a VNA at its core, allows healthcare
providers to grow from ology to ology and from enterprise to
enterprise. Read more about Sectra's enterprise imaging
