Optomed to deliv­er a sys­tem for oral health­care imag­ing to Helsin­ki and the Well­be­ing Ser­vices Coun­ty of Van­taa and Ker­a­va

Optomed was select­ed through a pub­lic ten­der process con­duct­ed by Apot­ti Ab as the sup­pli­er for an oral health­care imag­ing and archiv­ing sys­tem in the City of Helsin­ki and the well-being ser­vices coun­ties of Van­taa and Ker­a­va.

The project will begin on Jan­u­ary 23, with the goal of imple­ment­ing the sys­tem in Helsin­ki and the well-being ser­vices coun­ties of Van­taa and Ker­a­va by the end of 2025. The sys­tem will cen­tral­ize images from imag­ing devices, and it will pro­vide radi­ol­o­gists and den­tists with view­er soft­ware for read­ing the images. The Sec­tra PACS sys­tem will be inte­grat­ed with the Epic sys­tem, as well as with the nation­al image archiv­ing ser­vice. The deploy­ment will include not only the inte­gra­tion and test­ing of the sys­tem but also train­ing for oral health­care pro­fes­sion­als.

“We are delight­ed to deliv­er the Sec­tra PACS imag­ing and archiv­ing soft­ware to Helsin­ki and the well­be­ing ser­vices coun­ties of Van­taa and Ker­a­va. The sys­tem enables an oper­a­tional mod­el com­pli­ant with the Act on the Elec­tron­ic Pro­cess­ing of Client Data in Social and Health Care, where images will be cen­tral­ized in one uni­fied PACS sys­tem and from there into the nation­al archiv­ing ser­vice, where­as images cur­rent­ly are stored in imag­ing devices and sep­a­rate soft­ware. A uni­fied data repos­i­to­ry and mod­ern tools will enable effi­cient ser­vices for the 950,000 res­i­dents of Helsin­ki, Van­taa, and Ker­a­va”, com­ments Markku Myl­lylä, Optomed Vice Pres­i­dent Soft­ware.

“If Helsin­ki and Well­be­ing ser­vices coun­ty of Van­taa and Ker­a­va had each sought to acquire the sys­tem inde­pen­dent­ly, sep­a­rate ten­ders, inte­gra­tions, test­ing, and train­ing would have been required, result­ing in a more com­plex and expen­sive over­all solu­tion. The joint pro­cure­ment saves both time and effort,” says Apot­ti’s chief exec­u­tive offi­cer, Han­nu Välimä­ki.
