Caritas Christi Selects OrthoView
New England's Second Largest Health Care System Implements Orthopaedic Templating Leader for High Accuracy, Cost Savings and Optimized Outcomes
Jacksonville, FL (PRWEB) July 16, 2008 -- Orthoview, the global leader in orthopaedic planning and templating, today announced that its software had been selected for across-the-enterprise use within the Caritas Christi Health Care network of acute care hospitals, delivering exceptional health care to over one million people annually.
OrthoView, the digital planning solution-of-choice, is used by orthopaedic surgeons and radiologic clinicians around the world. With best-in-class, pre-operative planning software, OrthoView provides orthopaedic surgeons with a singular library of digital templates for joint replacement and trauma procedures, and special toolsets for limb deformity correction and pediatric assessment. OrthoView's digital template library includes thousands of templates from a wide range of orthopaedic partners including: Zimmer, DePuy, Biomet Orthopedics, Smith & Nephew, Synthes and many more.
Caritas Christi, a comprehensive, integrated, health care delivery network providing community-based medicine and tertiary care, is using OrthoView as an integrated part of its PACs system in all six of its Massachusetts hospitals. This arrangement enables any orthopaedic surgeon to template an upcoming procedure from any location, such as his/her office or any hospital computer, on the Caritas Christi network.
"OrthoView has a deep understanding of an orthopaedic surgeon's need for high accuracy, timeliness, cost efficiency and easy record storage and access," said David League Vice President of Sales, OrthoView. "Because US hospitals are recognizing the breadth, depth and capabilities of our application, we are experiencing tremendous growth all over the U. S. We are thrilled to welcome Caritas Christi to our well-informed group of clients and look forward to working with each of its hospitals, medical centers, surgeons and PACs administrators."
Developed with the help of orthopaedic specialists, clinicians and radiographers, OrthoView can be implemented as a stand-alone application or integrated into many of the world's most well-known PACS systems including: Agfa, Siemens, Philips, McKesson, GE Healthcare, FUJIFILM Medical Systems, Amicas, and several others. OrthoView has been integrated into Caritas Christi's McKesson Horizon Radiology System (HRS) Medical Imaging PACs system.
