Imaging Platform Integrates PACS, RIS, Connectivity, and Voice Recognition Reporting into One System

Impax Agility, developed by Agfa Healthcare (Mortsel, Belgium), is a departmental imaging platform designed to improve productivity, reduce cost, and facilitate quality outcomes. This system restructures capabilities typically found in a radiology information system (RIS), multidepartment picture archiving and communication system (PACS), voice recognition reporting, and connectivity into only one system.

The system streamlines navigation with a dynamic user interface and native diagnostic tools to support enhanced productivity. A powerful task-based workflow engine helps to ensure that users follow the appropriate steps for each procedure and circumstance, from ordering to result distribution. This supports the hospital in meeting regulatory obligations and workflow best practices, as well as improving clinical communication through mobile applications (apps).

James Jay, vice president and global head of imaging informatics, Agfa HealthCare, said, “Agility is much more than a PACS; it is a modern IT [information technology] platform with an innovative approach to consolidate and simplify IT integration efforts, which supports our vision of cost-saving image management across the healthcare continuum.”
