| | Health Imaging | Enterprise Imaging

Agfa HealthCare has joined the EMC Select program, enabling customers to purchase the Agfa ICIS (Imaging Clinical Information System) through EMC Select.

The arrangement allows healthcare organizations to combine Agfa's enterprise imaging and clinical workflow technologies with EMC Atmos, EMC Isilon, EMC VNX and EMC VMAX arrays.  

The EMC Select program allows organizations to acquire pre-tested, third-party systems that can be purchased with EMC hardware, software and services. Agfa's ICIS helps healthcare organizations, including health information exchanges (HIEs), to achieve enterprise image access, according to the Mortsel, Belgium-based company.

The EMC Select program will offer Agfa HealthCare's ICIS platform which allows the workflow, capture, storage, exchange and access of medical imaging information in EHR and HIE environments. The platform will provide an enterprise vendor-neutral archive, web-based image viewer and migration services.
