A medical imaging systems and Information Technology (IT) solutions provider has been selected to implement the Shared Regional Medical Imaging Services (S-PRIM) project in the large Île-de-France region in France.

The S-PRIM project follows on from the Region Without Film (RSF) project and will enable rapid implementation of a shared medical imaging infrastructure in the Île-de-France region. The project will include migration of archiving and Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) systems, and innovative new services for public and private organizations in the region.

Groupement de Coopération Sanitaire (GCS) Service Numérique de Santé (GCS Sesan; Paris, France) awarded the tender to Carestream Health (Rochester, NY, USA). The award includes Carestream’s Software as a Service (SaaS) Vue Cloud platform. The cloud-based services will include secure medical imaging data sharing and exchange to facilitate collaboration in the Île-de-France region. The services will also include creation of a unique and holistic patient folder, the ability to create integrated clinical pathways and treatment plans, and results sharing with prescribing doctors and patients using a secure portal. Dynamic multimedia enhanced reporting and advanced post-processing tools natively integrated in the diagnostic viewer are also included in the project.

Patrick Koch, managing director, Carestream France and Benelux, said, “We are proud to welcome GCS Sesan, with the S-PRIM project, into the community of partners putting their confidence in Carestream. This includes the hospitals in the AP-HP hospital group (the Greater Paris University Hospitals—the largest hospital group in Europe), the Midi-Pyrenees, Central, Pays de la Loire and Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur. Subscribing hospitals will be connected gradually to our Vue Cloud platform, which is already being used by more than 100 healthcare establishments in France and for which we have accreditation from the French government to host personal medical data.”
