Description
The South West Region would like to implement a single solution that provides a unified reporting experience for Pathology. From this market engagement we would like to gather information to develop informed decision making, better understanding the capability of the market, and the possible options available to then develop out to further 'ologies as the clinical networks develop.
The solution should allow for image data to be transferred and accessed in a bi-directional manner without compromising speed of access, and image fidelity on a near real-time basis.
The solution should be accessible across the group of hospital pathology departments and from remote locations to allow for flexibility, and ease of use while maintaining a consistent in-hospital experience from all locations.
