FUJIFILM Wins Healthy Contract

November 13, 2006: FUJIFILM Australia has won a $28 million contract with the Victorian Department of Human Services for the delivery of health related equipment and services.

In one of the country’s largest healthcare contracts, FUJIFILM will work with nine Victorian public health care agencies with an option of service delivery for a further five years. FUJIFILM will provide their proprietary Picture Archiving and Communications System solution known as ‘Synapse,’ diagnostic equipment, laser printers as well as support and maintenance for the equipment.

Peter Carmody, General Manager for FUJIFILM Medical Systems Australia says it’s one of the largest contracts they have dealt with globally. “Each of the nine public health care agencies may have several hospital sites within its region,” he says.

Through the provision of direct access to electronic information, FUJIFILM says participating agencies will have more informed diagnostic assessments, quicker access to images and more efficient and safer use of a chemical free environment.

FUJIFILM says the equipment installation will ignite a common platform across the participating agencies for seamless solutions for managing, storing and distributing images and information throughout facilities. “The state-wide system design is standardised on a distributed architecture connecting to a State-wide long term central archive system,” says Carmody.
