ProSolv extends relationship to four more VA hospitals

The Veterans in Partnership Healthcare Network (VISN 11) has contracted with ProSolv Cardiovascular, a Fujifilm company, to add the Synapse ProSolv Cardiovascular solution to four hospitals.

The Synapse ProSolv cardiovascular system is replacing the current echocardiography and cardiac catheterization solutions in use at each facility, consolidating the existing IT infrastructure at the facilities.

VISN 11 is one of 21 Veterans Integrated Service Networks of the Department of Veterans Affairs.  It consists of seven VA Medical Centers and 20 operating community-based outpatient clinics that provide inpatient and outpatient healthcare to veterans in central Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and northwest Ohio. 

The hospitals included in the ProSolv contract are all located in Michigan: Ann Arbor, Detroit, Battle Creek and Saginaw, the company said.
