Voyant Health™ announced today that Spectrum Health (Grand Rapids, Michigan) has licensed its TraumaCad Enterprise orthopedic templating solution and its TraumaCad Extend workflow solution, to allow its orthopedic surgeons to perform digital presurgical planning using images from multiple digital imaging systems, from anywhere on the Spectrum Health network.
The largest employer in West Michigan, Spectrum Health has 16,000 staff members, 1,500 physicians, and 2,000 volunteers, and is noted for its inclusion in the Top 100 Integrated Networks; Most Wired Hospitals (published by Healthcare magazine);and the Top 101 Places to Work in Michigan.
George Vallillee, MBA, Manager Radiology Information Solutions at Spectrum Health, explains: “We have dozens of orthopedic surgeons from multiple groups, not all of whom use the same PACS system as Spectrum Health. We were looking for a strong digital templating solution with surgeon-friendly tools, as well as an enterprise workflow solution that could smoothly and securely, knit together multiple PACS systems, including the Spectrum Health PACS system, to make it simple for our orthopedic surgeons to do their work in their own clinics, at Spectrum Health hospitals, and from home.”
Vallillee adds, “With TraumaCad Enterprise and TraumaCad Extend, we believe we have achieved our objectives and look forward to providing these new capabilities to our orthopedic surgeons.”
Zeev Glozman, Voyant Health CEO, adds, “When we developed TraumaCad Extend, we were aiming at exactly the situation that Spectrum Health has: multiple groups, multiple surgeons, multiple imaging systems, and with no practical way to tie them all together. We look for Spectrum Health to push the envelope, so that all of us at Voyant Health can stay abreast of evolving requirements in the busy surgeon’s clinical practice.”
Voyant Health will be showcasing its solutions at the upcoming Annual Assembly of the Radiological Society of North America, at McCormick Place in Chicago, from November 29 through December 4, 2009. South Hall, Booth # 3055.
