Agfa adds peerVue to IMPAX

Agfa HealthCare has integrated its IMPAX 6.0 PACS with workflow, quality improvement, and communications products from peerVue.

Agfa HealthCare will become a reseller for peerVue's qiVue, a workflow, quality and communication solution, and caseVue, a teaching file and content management solution, enabling Agfa to offer these products to its IMPAX PACS customers.

The integrated Agfa HealthCare/peerVue solution allows radiology departments to meet increased regulatory and quality reporting challenges while providing an easy-to-use, tightly-integrated workflow, according to Agfa. The functionality includes critical results reporting, peer review, emergency department discrepancy management, technologist quality control and teaching files.
