OREM, UT, June 04, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- A new report from KLAS entitled Digital X-Ray Performance 2013: Impact of a Wireless Workflow shows "going wireless" is not just a buzzword when it comes to digital x-ray. Providers report increased efficiency in patient throughput due in part to the reliability and excellent image quality of the wireless solutions.
The performance report looks across the spectrum of deliverables that make up a good wireless system and finds Carestream leading the way overall with GE pulling up the rear in a four-point spread. Providers cited reliability issues and some implementation challenges as the primary reasons for GE's lower scores.
"It's great to see wireless technology having a positive impact in healthcare," said Brady Heiner, research director at KLAS and report author. "Seeing providers and vendors leveraging the wireless technology to create efficiencies that directly affect patient flow is win-win for all. This report will help those providers who are looking to go wireless gain confidence and find the right system for their facilities."
Vendors highlighted in this report include Carestream, GE Healthcare, FUJIFILM, Philips, Siemens, Shimadzu, Toshiba, and Viztek.
