Hitachi in Healthcare has a proud history of innovation and has developed solutions geared around improving quality of care and facilitating more accurate and timely decision making. Our heritage and capability in healthcare (from modalities to biometrics) has led to a highly successful vertical business being formed to help understand and address the business and clinical needs of care providers.
In Healthcare its all about the data, turning data into knowledge, to decision making and having accurate data available at the point of care, wherever and whenever it is needed.
Once any Healthcare institution has made the decision to go digital it is only a matter of time before there is a requirement for the “Asset” or image or report to make its way through the healthcare workflow process.
Today the PACS/imaging concept is now moving quite rapidly through different departments within a hospital - Cardiology, Pathology, Endoscopy and many other image centric disciplines. The next evolution in Health Care will see hospitals and national health systems investing in open and tiered infrastructure so they can leverage the market for applications, without vendor lock-in. Systems and modalities can all be best of breed if, and only if you have a stable and thought-out infrastructure plan.
Hitachi Data Systems is the market leader in Virtualisation and our commitment to work to open standards as well as Healthcare interoperability standards like DICOM, XDS and HL7, enables us to ubiquitously manage Clinical and non-clinical data from any location, source or format.
Importantly, as Pathology & multi-media is concerned with 70% of all clinical disciplines, HDS HealthXchange can be used as an enabler for Patient multi-media services and a foundation for EPR. The ability to de-couple the data from the application by leveraging metadata and custom metadata to provide ubiquitous access for applications improves data mobility and information sharing while avoiding application vendor lock-in.
We differentiate ourselves by being able to provide 100% guaranteed availability via Services Oriented Storage Solutions that enable heterogeneous storage to be dynamically provisioned and centrally managed according to business needs. Innovative adaptive streaming techniques enable fast distribution of large images across local and wide area networks including the internet for collaborative Tele-Radiology.
HDS Storage Solutions are running the largest PACS systems in the world and also Regional CHUs in France. Additionally our range of services from discovery to storage economics ensures optimal and proven Return on Investment to meet your stated objectives.
