Ohio system selects Philips PACS for hospital and network

The University Hospitals Health System (UHHS) of Cleveland, Ohio, has installed Philips Medical Systems' EasyAccess PACS system at the University Hospital of Cleveland (UHC).

EasyAccess Enterprise is currently installed hospital-wide at UHC, the centerpiece of the UHHS healthcare system, with plans for integration across the entire UHHS network, Philips said.

Using the Philips EasyAccess Enterprise PACS system, UHHS clinicians have gained distribution capabilities and can share patient images and information between healthcare providers.
