BridgeForward server for Nuffield Hospitals
14 June 2007
Application integration technology provider to the US and UK
healthcare industry BridgeForward Software has been selected by Nuffield
Hospitals — one of the largest private hospital groups in the UK — to
support its bid to go fully digital by the end of the year.
The project, which also involves Agfa HealthCare and several other
consortium partners, will include the installation of next-generation
picture archiving and communications systems and radiology information
systems from Agfa, computed radiography systems, Initiate Systems’
master patient index and Dictaphone’s PowerScribe. All 40 Nuffield
hospitals are expected to complete the transition to fully digital
imaging and data management by December.
“The decision to go with Agfa HealthCare, BridgeForward Software and
their consortium partners was based on their ability to deliver the
project in a tight timeframe and to provide the level of integration
required in a complex multi-site organisation”, said Dr Mohammed
Hussein, PACS Project Manager and Technical Consultant for the Nuffield
Hospital Group.
BridgeForward is headquartered in Massachusetts and has offices in
Epsom, Surrey.
