The VISUS family continues growing: Since this summer we can count the Australian expert for radiological solutions, Healthinc, to our international network. In Australia and New Zealand, Healthinc is well-known for the implementation of high-end radiological technologies that cover the entire radiological process.

Information technology standards and profiles are the hallmark of VISUS. It is even doubtful if the company would exist at all without DICOM. But are standards really always the best and most practical solution – especially in times of exploding amounts of data? Absolutely!

The appearance of physicians and nurses at a patient’s bedside with a tablet computer instead of a file folder is a fairly unusual sight, even in 2020. One reason for this is that the degree of digitalization within a given hospital has to be extremely high in every department before staff can discontinue the use of paper data.

In the past, standards played an essential role in the development of healthcare IT in general and in that of VISUS products specifically. The many recollections on the occasion of our 20th anniversary are testimony to this.
