Whether you're a large medical practice, a multi-facility health system or a community hospital with several imaging departments, your future should include a Vendor-Neutral Archiving Solution (VNA). The need is undeniable, as the concept solves problems confronting health systems of all sizes and constitution. The only question is: When do you implement it?  Because purchasing and managing multiple silos of data-one for each department PACS is expensive, a consolidated storage solution makes economic and operational sense.

Whether your need is limited to your PACS environment or if it spans your entire healthcare enterprise, LeTigre’ VNA portfolio has a solution to fit your needs and objectives. 

LeTigre’s VNA expertise can help preserve your existing investment, allow manageable growth and the sharing of information between various vendor applications.  Using LeTigre Healthcare Solutions’ Vendor-Neutral Archiving Solution, medical images and digital information can be stored on a cost effective storage system while providing ILM (Information Lifecycle Management) for those images. These assets can be removed from the storage environment when they are no longer needed.

The ROI of implementing LeTigre Healthcare Solutions’ Vendor-Neutral Archiving solution is solid and helps healthcare organizations in the following manner: 

• Avoid costly migrations due to change of PACS, Infrastructure or upgrades
• Legacy PACS investment protection: no need to migrate studies until they are needed.
• The solution is vendor agnostic for both PACS and IT infrastructure like physical storage devices.
• It supports new archiving and storage technologies like HP MAS, Bycast Storage Grids and EMC Centera.
• You will achieve a network buyback through load optimization, pre-fetching, compression, throttling and multi-point routing capabilities.
• It delivers centralized and/or decentralized interoperability for distributed operations like RHIOs and IDNs.
• Significant cost reduction through ability to share archive(s) with all PACS systems.
• The Vendor Neutral Infrastructure has business continuity and high availability built in.
• It provides one standards based logical archive that is the single location to retrieve the images regardless of the viewer.  The LeTigre Healthcare archive gives IT the flexibility to add or replace viewers as their needs change and not be locked in by the PACS vendor or the competitive archive vendors that have their own viewer.
