PACs Concept:

Review, Where-we-are-now
Some Case Studies****

Our objective is the “ICARAS, standards-based systems integration and interoperability” development and deployment of  “Trust Wide” medical images and health records over high speed fixed and mobile-wireless data links. We are the expert centre for acute care in the South West and we are connecting to all the Trusts and Hospitals who refer patients to us (we have connected to Swindon, Yeovil & Barnstable for now, over the NHS Net); we are also working on Cancer Care initiatives and have conducted nearly 32 Virtual eMDTs (~330 patients). We have a pedigree in PC based Telemedicine and Medical Informatics since the mid 1990s and have implemented a number of innovative e-health solutions. The Integrated Healthcare Enterprise, IHE development was designed to meet the growing demand for medical information OnLine in our healthcare arena over standards based e-health systems.
