Kodak Digital Systems to be Installed at 34 Hospitals Throughout Alberta, Canada

The Regional Shared Health Information Program (RSHIP), Alberta, Canada, has placed a multi-million-dollar order for dozens of KODAK DIRECTVIEW Computed Radiography (CR) and Digital Radiography (DR) Systems. These systems will be installed at 34 hospitals and healthcare centers within the David Thompson Health and East Central Health Regions over the next eight months.

The order includes 43 KODAK DIRECTVIEW CR systems , one KODAK DIRECTVIEW DR 3000 System, and numerous KODAK Laser Imaging Systems and Film Digitizers. RSHIP also ordered KODAK DIRECTVIEW Capture Link Systems, which streamline workflow by allowing technologists to perform scanning and image review functions on any networked KODAK CR System at each site throughout the hospital network. The Regional Shared Health Information Program conducted an extensive evaluation process that involved 10 suppliers prior to selecting Kodak’s Health Group for this large-scale regional implementation.

“Kodak provides a full suite of computed and digital radiography solutions that meet the diverse needs of each application and each hospital. We are confident in Kodak’s ability to supply leading-edge technology and the levels of service RSHIP needs to be successful in the implementation and support of this project,” said Brian Kroeker, Director of Operations for the Regional Shared Health Information Program.

Kodak’s CR and DR systems will provide high-resolution digital x-ray image capture for general radiology, emergency, intensive care, and other departments within each hospital. Laser imagers output digital image files onto radiographic film, while film digitizers equip facilities to integrate existing film-based radiographs into a digital imaging workflow.
