D.C. health system installs InSite One archive solution

MedStar Health, a nine-facility hospital system in Maryland and Washington, D.C., has selected its InDex Enterprise Archive from InSite One for enterprise-wide medical data storage.

The Wallingford, Conn.-based Insite One said InDex Enterprise will eliminate departmental data silos and streamline information access by integrating imaging information across multiple locations into a standards-based, application-neutral archive.

The MedStar project involves data migration of more than 150 terabytes of imaging data. The archive will support enhanced PACS workflow with features like enterprise exam pre-fetching which includes body part filtering, according to the company.
