Mater Health Services in Queensland, Australia, is well known for incorporating technology into its business, which consists of hospitals, health centers, a medical research institute, and a pathology and pharmacy business. It is a Catholic not-for-profit ministry with more than 7,500 staff and volunteers.

Mater first installed Carestream’s Vue PACS, and the organization then got to work implementing a VNA once the PACS deployment was complete.

The biggest issue for Mater was around electronic images. The organization needed a technology that could encompass all of the imaging modalities. Once installed, Mater realized that more than 60% of the data stored in the VNA was not radiology-specific. As stated by Steven Parrish, CIO and Executive Director, Information and Infrastructure, at Mater Health Services:

“Any image at Mater should be within the CARESTREAM Vue PACS and VNA systems, because that is the single point for clinicians to access and view anything that is image-related to a patient.”

The VNA consolidates disparate imaging systems into one repository using the latest interoperability standards. Combined with CARESTREAM Vue Motion (a universal image viewer), the Vue Archive VNA provides secure, real-time imaging, accessible at an enterprise level and beyond.

Simply put, what was once a siloed process for storing and accessing images has now been broken down and unified with the help of a VNA, meaning that all of the images, photos, and videos are stored and viewable via a centralized location.

For the complete story of Mater Health Services’ deployment of its VNA, you can read the embedded testimonial below, or access it via SlideShare.
