Los Angeles provider switches PACS with Infinitt's help

Los Angeles-based Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center (HPMC) has selected Infinitt North America's Infinitt PACS to replace its image and information management system.

HPMC currently has an imaging procedure volume of approximately 100,000 studies per year and will be using Infinitt's replacement and data migration services to consolidate image data from two previous systems into a single image archive, according to the Phillipsburg, N.J.-based company.

HPMC is owned and operated by Los Angeles-based CHA Health Systems.
