Leveraging Vendor Neutral Archive Systems to Improve Clinical, Operational, and Financial Outcomes – The use of digital imaging and the number of archived images have grown exponentially in recent years. With the ongoing digital transformation of European health systems, this rapid growth is set to continue. While storing, retrieving and translating proprietary archived images requires a lot of precious time from clinicians and hospital staff, Vendor Neutral Archive (VNA) systems allow them to communicate more efficiently with other caregivers, departments and hospital systems.
