Agfa’s Vision
Store all clinically relevant data across the continuum of care
Enable each institution to contribute agreed upon data
elements so clinical collaboration, continuity of care and patient
safety and privacy can be realized.

episodes of care, enhancing the patient experience and
promote better communication between clinicians and optimally
support the clinical process.
Realities of Healthcare Today
“We have multi media and relevant data from all
departments, specialties, and disciplines from
different vendors across our healthcare enterprise.”
“The sheer number and size of images
that have to be migrated has exploded.”
“We need a new architecture
to help our health organization
keep up with imaging demands.”

IMPAX Data Centre: Key benefits
Clinical: Supports the reduction of medical errors
• Reduce order duplication
• Potentially lower the amount of radiation by eliminating redundant and
medically un-needed procedures.
• consolidates and enables distribution of relevant clinical data to the
clinician at the point of care.
Operational: Leverages existing or disparate systems across
the enterprise
• Connects key data elements at the point of care without modifications to
the clinicians user interface.
Financial: Saves money
• Fosters interoperability and reduces costly migrations
Technical: Adherence to standards
• Transparency, integration, interoperability for data management
• Distribution and archiving for all DICOM data across the enterprise no
matter the source.
Bioserveur : a Proven Solution
Started as a regional project in

Connects Labs with GP’s
Solves a real communication
and inter-operability problem

Vision: Integrated access to relevant clinical data
A central infrastructure enabling e-Health
This can but doesn’t need to imply that data is physically persisted
in a central storage
The bottom line: a user should have a consolidated and complete
view on the clinical data of the patient research and care should be
able to “connect”
