MaineGeneral Health in the US selects Sectra's enterprise imaging SaaS to help radiologists improve diagnostic speed despite growing demands
Linköping, Sweden and Shelton, CT – October 15, 2024 – International medical imaging IT and cybersecurity company Sectra (STO: SECT B) will provide US healthcare provider MaineGeneral Health its enterprise imaging as a fully hosted public cloud service, Sectra One Cloud. The comprehensive solution will provide radiologists diagnostic speed while the service enhances security and scalability.
“We’re excited to implement Sectra’s advanced enterprise imaging solution,” says Mark St. John, CIO at MaineGeneral Health. “The system also has the potential to replace some of what we currently use for other specialties, including cardiology, oncology and pathology. Sectra has an excellent reputation for service, reliability, and continuously improving their products and services.”
Based in Augusta, MaineGeneral Health serves central Maine through a network of hospitals and outpatient facilities. In September 2024, they signed a 5-year agreement for Sectra One Cloud, and will utilize the modules for radiology and breast imaging, as well as the vendor-neutral archive (VNA). MaineGeneral Health performs approximately 200,000 exams annually.
"Radiologists everywhere face high demands and need solutions that help maintain diagnostic speed. That speed isn't just about how quickly images load. It's also about system reliability, having advanced clinical tools at your fingertips, and features that ensure each case is read by the right person at the right time. Sectra One Cloud addresses these needs, helping MaineGeneral optimize workflows and support their mission of delivering excellent healthcare," says Isaac Zaworski, President of Sectra, Inc.
