Franciscus Gasthuis and Vlietland opts for AVEX’s image routing system

Project

AVEX of Breukelen, the Netherlands, has been commissioned to equip eighteen of Franciscus Gasthuis & Vlietland’s operating rooms (ORs) with Sony’s NUCLeUS image routing system. These 18 operating rooms are partly located at the Franciscus Gasthuis site in Rotterdam and partly at the Vlietland site in Schiedam. This STZ Teaching Hospital has opted for the phased implementation of the image routing system in all its operating theatres during the next two years.

New technologies

The NUCLeUS concept comprises a blend of smart and new technologies based on video over IP. It has a workflow that is attuned to the processes of the operating room. This ultimate solution for image routing also offers extensive possibilities for streaming images. For example, peer consultation between operating rooms. NUCLeUS integrates with hospital applications, such as the EPD and PACS systems, to create a complementary whole.

The main reason we chose Sony NUCLeUS is it extensive functionalities, which include Telestration and the Horizon correction App.

Functionalities

Franciscus Gasthuis & Vlietland selected AVEX on the basis of the concept offered, which fits seamlessly with the desired functionalities as described in the Schedule of Requirements (SoR). These also include system’s purchase, use, management and maintenance.

Lauren Pollinger, Project Manager at Franciscus Gasthuis & Vlietland: “The main reason we chose Sony NUCLeUS is it extensive functionalities, which include Telestration and the Horizon correction App. In addition, the image routing system assists in improving operating room staff’s workflow. For example, it enables one to add videos and photos to the Electronic Patient File (EPD) while also offering full access to the footage in the event of any complications, up to 3 months after recording.”

“We are delighted that Franciscus Gasthuis & Vlietland has chosen AVEX as its system integrator. A high-quality audiovisual solution like NUCLeUS certainly has an impact on the quality of care. This solution will contribute to the digitisation of the healthcare landscape and ultimately to improved and more advanced healthcare,” says Peter Spaans, Account Manager Healthcare.
