The ORBIS information system enables real time information exchanges between staff throughout the patient pathway. The introduction of the solution is part of a wider project to further streamline and improve the facilities operations.

The system allows also for customised data traceability and collection which will allow the hospitals to develop medical research.

The collaboration is good news for Agfa Healthcare who, at the beginning of the month, revealed that its fourth quarter sales had continued to decrease.
