Fairview Goes All Digital

June 14th, 2010

Last month Pacesetter Medical Imaging (PMI) and Fairview Health Services, one of the largest not-for-profit health care systems in Minnesota, entered into an agreement for completion of the final phase of Fairview’s system-wide conversion to digital imaging.

According to Mark Domalewski, Fairview Medical Group’s Vice President of Operations for the South Region,

We began the process of full conversion in 2002, implemented phase (conversion across all Fairview hospitals) in 2003, and are now looking at completion of phase 2 (conversion across all Fairview clinics) in 2010.

Pacesetter Medical Imaging is proud to be the partner of choice for Fairview’s total conversion.

In the beginning the decision was made to go with Agfa equipment, and at that time PMI was just starting their relationship as a representative for Agfa. We got to know PMI as things moved forward, and they got to know us very well.

To complete the conversion PMI will be installing and configuring the equipment, and training the radiological staff, at the 9 remaining film-based Fairview clinics, completing the conversion of Fairview’s x-ray services to 100% digital. A total of 13 Agfa CR systems will be deployed, including the new Agfa DX-G Multiplate Digitizer CR system.
