34 Iowa Healthcare Facilities Soon to Benefit From PACS Implementation

Soon, 34 metropolitan hospitals and clinics throughout the state of Iowa will be experiencing streamlined workflow and improved productivity.

That’s because Iowa Health System – the state’s first and largest integrated health system – has partnered with McKesson for an enterprise Horizon Medical Imaging™ Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) implementation.

Iowa Health System conducts an increasing number of procedures every year, and needed a solution that could help physicians and staff deliver high-quality, timely patient care now and in the future.

The healthcare system chose McKesson to replace its former PACS vendor in order to meet its growing diagnostic imaging needs.

Healthcare Group to Upgrade to Enterprise Medical Imaging System

That was the goal Continuum Health Partners had in mind when it decided to replace multiple medical imaging systems with a single integrated solution – the latest version of Horizon Medical Imaging™ from McKesson. This scalable system will be deployed across the vast Continuum network of hospitals and clinics throughout New York City.
