GE Healthcare has disclosed a newly designed low
cost IT solution--GE centricity PACS reach, a Picture Archiving and
Communication System (PACS) aimed at affordably digitizing India's 15,000-plus
small diagnostic centers and hospitals, a market that's traditionally lower in
clinical image volume but is growing at a tremendous pace in India's tier-II
and tier-III cities. Centricity PACS reach endeavours to bring this market
faster image access, greater efficiency and lower operational costs.
Priced at roughly one-tenth the cost of comparable imported solutions, centricity reach is a compact, web-deployable, image processing, distribution and reporting solution that can be used from within and outside a healthcare facility. It is the first of its kind simple solution for low volume diagnostic centers and small private hospitals. Centricity PACS reach enables a complete film-less operation delivering powerful, global standards-based and secure DICOM storage with image distribution any time, anywhere. It has a fully integrated rich feature set of image viewing capabilities, seamless navigation, express reporting and tele radiology support ideally suited for customers in tier-II and tier-III cities and has immense potential to expedite healthcare IT adoption in India and other emerging countries.
It is widely accepted that IT adoption in the Indian healthcare segment has been slow and only a handful of Indian hospitals or diagnostic centres are IT enabled due to the relative high cost of imported IT solutions. Centricity PACS reach is priced at Rs5 lakhs per unit compared to imported systems that are available upwards of Rs50 lakhs to Rs10 crore with many features that may be required only for advanced clinical usage and scale to support high patient procedure volumes. Centricity reach is designed and developed at GE's John F Welch Global Research Centre, Bangalore, specifically to meet India's unique value requirements.
