iSOFT completes RIS project in BT's London cluster

iSOFTiSOFT has installed its RadCentre radiology information system (RIS) at Chelsea and Westminster and Ealing NHS trusts as part of its contract with BT under the National Programme for IT (NPfIT).

All eight London trusts covered by the £3.9m deal with BT, the local service provider for London, are now fully installed. The systems played an important role in helping BT meet its target of delivering picture archiving and communications systems to 21 trusts across the capital by the end of March this year.

Linked to Philips picture archiving and communications systems (PACS), RadCentre is now running at the 660-bed Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and 350-bed Ealing Hospital.

The eight NHS trusts covered by the NPfIT contract with BT are Barking, Havering & Redbridge, St Mary's Paddington, Moorfields Eye Hospital, Barts and the Royal London, North West London, Royal National Orthopaedic, Chelsea and Westminster, and Ealing. All eight are using PACS from Philips.

A further eight NHS trusts in London use iSOFT’s RadCentre in contracts outside the NPfIT. These include early adopter Mayday Healthcare NHS Trust.

Other non-NPfIT RadCentre customers in London are St Georges, Lewisham, Royal Free, Kingston, North Middlesex, Whittington, Great Ormond Street Hospital, Epsom St Helier and West Middlesex.

iSOFT is one of the UK’s largest providers of radiology information systems. RadCentre is installed at 43 NHS trusts currently.
