Subject: [New post] HIT Paris 2012: Loire Region Cloud Project Draws Attention

New post on Everything Rad HIT Paris 2012: Loire Region Cloud Project Draws Attention by Carestream Health Hugues Trousseau, Marketing Manager, France & Belgium, Carestream “Cloud” was the buzz of last week’s HIT Paris 2012. And show-goers found particular interest in Carestream’s Vue Cloud services. We demonstrated seamless access to patient data and integrated workflow across the continuum of care via our Vue Cloud Archive, Vue Cloud PACS and Vue Cloud Community.  We also highlighted the low initial costs and predictable total operating cost associated with our cloud services. Customers and prospects showed tremendous interest not only in these services, but also in how some of them are applied in France’s Loire Region. The Loire Region recently began operating one of the country’s first hosted data and software applications networks using our Vue Cloud PACS and Vue Cloud Archive. When the project is fully implemented over the next several months, a minimum of nine private and public healthcare facilities will use our cloud services. As part of the project, data is hosted at the Roanne NumeriParc secure data centre (ISO27001 certified) and built around the Axione high-speed telecommunications network (optical fiber). Saint Etienne University Hospital and Mutualité Française de la Loire led the group coordinating this ambitious project, which involved all major economic, political, technical and health players of the Loire. The group aims to share the purchase of services and equipment enabling medical image archiving, communication and diagnostic services to meet the needs of group members and aid cooperation between institutions and their partners. The group chose cloud-based services for the project instead of capital investment as these services enhance productivity and patient care, and the fee-per-study structure provides a predictable total cost of ownership (TCO).

Nous avons présenté nos solutions Vue Cloud Archive, Vue Cloud PACS et Vue Cloud Community qui permettent un accès transparent aux données du patient ainsi qu’un workflow intégré tout au long du parcours de soins. Nous avons également mis en évidence le très faible coût de l’investissement initial de nos services de cloud computing ainsi que le caractère complètement prévisible des coûts d'exploitation. Les différents visiteurs ont montré un grand intérêt, non seulement dans ces services, mais surtout dans la façon dont certains sont mis en application, notamment dans le département de la Loire. Le département de la Loire a récemment mis en route la première plateforme mutualisée d'échange de dossiers d'imagerie médicale à l’échelle d'un territoire de santé, en utilisant nos applications Vue Cloud PACS et Vue Cloud Archive. Lorsque le projet sera complètement opérationnel, ce sera un minimum de neuf établissements de santé privés et publics qui utiliseront nos services de cloud computing. Dans le cadre de ce projet, les données sont hébergées au
