Agfa HealthCare presents its vision of an Electronic Medical Record enterprise IT platform in the United States
General centralized healthcare is evolving toward decentralized community care offering a new era of real patient-centered continuum of care. This trend requires collecting and offering information crossing the borders of medical specialties in a true Electronic Medical Record (EMR). This drives the acquisition and dissemination of information crossing the borders of geographically distributed care organizations. The mission is to collect real-time clinical and administrative data, as well as images along specific clinical paths to enhance the quality of care while reducing costs.
