India: GE Healthcare’s Initiatives To Expand IT Business
GE Healthcare has unveiled its new initiatives in the Indian healthcare IT sector as part of its expansion strategy.
Aiming to eliminate upfront capital investment in hospital IT solutions, GE Healthcare introduced “Managed Solutions”, the first of these initiatives, which would target providers who required integration across multiple locations or planned to expand.
“We still lack the infrastructure to enable more unified access across our rural and urban communities. But we believe the unique "managed" business model will help transform the way healthcare is delivered in India," says V. Raja, president & chief executive officer of GE Healthcare South Asia.
Already GE Healthcare, which was looking to introduce its “managed solutions” in diagnostic centres, government and private hospitals, has entered into its first “managed” Indian partnership with DCA Imaging Centre, New Delhi, which boasts of five connected imaging centres across the country.
GE Healthcare also officially launched Centricity® PACS-IW in India in a move that will deliver remote accessibility for radiologists to review images remotely in addition to instantaneous reporting on true DICOM datasets, reducing overall healthcare costs.
