Dutch hospital switches to Sectra

The Rijnland Hospital in the Netherlands has opted to switch to a total
radiology IT solution provided by Sectra. The order includes a fully integrated
system for managing radiology information (RIS) and a seven-year direct service
and support agreement for the hospital's existing Sectra PACS (image management
system).

For several years, the Rijnland Hospital has been using Sectra PACS, and with
this long-term agreement the hospital obtains a fully integrated Sectra RIS/PACS
solution including all the advantages of Sectra's timely and cost-effective
service and support. Consequently, the hospital will be able to handle radiology
images and related information throughout the hospital more efficiently than
today.

“Sectra's integrated IT solution with related service and support fully meets
our needs”, says Martin Grob, Hospital Manager at Rijnland Hospital. “Sectra's
solution fits a modern hospital environment and its advanced system monitoring
tools give us the possibility to optimize the efficiency not only of radiology
workspace but throughout the entire hospital”, Martin Grob continues. 

“We view the order from Rijnland Hospital as recognition of our excellence in
providing efficient service and support”, says Peter Osinga, Managing Director
Sectra Benelux. “We are continuing to offer direct service and support
agreements to any customer who has previously purchased Sectra products through
partners”, he concludes.

The Rijnland Hospital includes two hospital locations and performs 130,000
radiology examinations annually.
