Royal Philips<\/a> (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), a global leader in health technology,participated in the RSNA 2020 virtual event which took place on 30th<\/sup> November, 2020.The event featuredPhilips Radiology Workflow Suite,end-to-end solutions to drive operational efficiency through the integration, digitalization and virtualization of radiology. At RSNA 2020, Philips showcased acoordinated suite of offerings for the first time, introducing key solutions that come together to enhance the entire radiology workflow to address the most pressing operational challenges across diagnostic and interventional radiology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The effective capture, analysis and reporting of data is now at the core of modern diagnostics, with healthcare providers increasingly challenged to implement integrated, digital systems that improve the experience of staff and patients, provide better health outcomes and lower the cost of care.The impact can be felt across the entire system, as 97% of radiology departments are unable to meet their reporting requirements, [1] and repeat, low-value, and unnecessaryimaging exams cost them as much as $12 billion annually [2].<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The situation has been further exacerbated by COVID-19. To manage backlog after an estimated 50-70% reductionin imaging volume during the peak of the pandemic, radiology departments are now beingchallengedto combineelective exams and procedures for patients with cancer, heart disease, and other conditions, while continuing to support critical care for COVID-19 patients. Combined with the growing global shortage of radiologists [3] and the fact that diagnostic and treatment workloads are expanding in both volume and complexity, radiology departments are under pressure to provide accurate diagnosis and treatment, while minimizing wait times for patients, Integrated workflow solutions for patients, technologists and radiologists. <\/strong>By taking a systemview of imaging, Philips is connecting workflows across the imaging enterprise to help improve outcomes for patients and enhance the efficiency and work experience of radiologists, technologists and administrators. Reinforcing Philips\u2019 strong foundation in imaging, therapy guidance, and clinical solutions, Philips Radiology Workflow Suiteis designed to be vendor-neutral and can be implemented in any radiology department around the world.The portfolio of integrated solutions featured in Philips Radiology Workflow Suite includes imaging technologies, informatics solutions and related solutions for disease management, patient engagement and more. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPrecision across the diagnostic enterprise is more important today than ever before. To help meet our customers\u2019 greatest challenges, we are pivoting away from standalone products to an integrated systems and solutions approach focused on data and intelligence to drive operational efficiency in an automated way for informed practice management and continuous improvement,\u201d said Kees Wesdorp<\/a>, Chief Business Leader, Precision Diagnosis at Philips. \u201cVisitors to our Philips RSNA virtual site were able to experience Philips smart connected systems, which optimize radiology workflows, and generate insights from integrated diagnostics, leading to clear care pathways and predictable outcomes for every patient.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
