PeaceHealth chooses OrthoView for system-wide implementation

PeaceHealth has selected OrthoView software for six facilities within the Bellevue, Wash.-based healthcare system.

The Jacksonville, Fla.-based OrthoView’s pre-operative planning software provides orthopedic surgeons with an unrivalled library of digital templates for joint replacement and trauma procedures, plus unique specialist toolsets for limb deformity correction and pediatric assessment, PeaceHealth said.

"We are delighted that OrthoView will be assisting the orthopedic surgeons at PeaceHealth to make reliable decisions for joint replacement, fracture management and specialist orthopedic surgery," said David League, OrthoView vice president of sales. "OrthoView's Wizards will enable them to template joint replacements on-screen quickly and easily; and its QuickScale tool will allow them to calibrate any digital x-ray image with great accuracy.”
