Equipped with modern technology and managed by a team of internationally qualified and experienced healthcare professionals, Al Khalidi Medical Centre has reaffirmed its commitment to delivering advanced healthcare by installing the first of its kind RIS/PACS inside the country.
Dr. Alif Al Saleh, Head of the Radiology department at KMC, said:
"By installing this sophisticated information technology solution by GE Healthcare, KMC takes a quantum leap in the performance of our Radiology and Cath Lab departments, which in turn, supports the healthcare needs of the local population further."
"Over 40 hospitals in the Middle East region have chosen our Centricity solutions because our tools deliver clinical depth," said Juergen Reyinger, General Manager, IITS Europe, Middle East & Africa at GE Healthcare. "Technologically advanced hospital environments such as Al Khalidi Medical Centre in Jordan, reveal the challenges an advanced RIS/PACS needs to and can fulfil."
Implementing GE's Centricity RIS/PACS system will have a significant positive impact on KMC, where over 700 medical staff members provide round-the-clock personalized care to patients and roughly 30,000 out-patients are treated annually. With over 15 clinical departments and over 200 affiliated specialists, the new RIS/PACS system will efficiently link all connected and images producing modalities such as orthopedics and cardiology.
Centricity offers ultra-fast image storage and display of large datasets coming from multi-slice CTs. To take advantage of the new developments in modalities like 64 slice CT, GE provides more than basic 3D inside a PACS including advanced colonography, vessel analysis, CAD and more. Enormous amounts of data can be viewed within seconds, enlarged or reconstructed three dimensional, if needed.
"To us, having Centricity means easy to use and advanced tools that support our day to day decisions. The outcome is greater efficiency including better diagnosis and faster, personalized treatment for the patient," said Dr. Alif Al Saleh.
With GE's Centricity RIS/PACS, all clinicians at KMC will have immediate access from any PC at any site. Labour intensive tasks, such as the transporting of x-ray films, image and report filing will be eliminated. The speech recognition tremendously eases the work of doctors and administrators alike and significantly reduces reply times while setting up reports and diagnoses.
