3 1. Scope of our services This document describes Accenture s Medical Imaging Managed Service, and should be read in conjunction with the associated Government Cloud IV Services documentation. The Accenture Medical Imaging Managed Service (AMIMS) will be tailored to the specific G-Cloud IV requirements and may include any of the following solutions either purchased in isolation or bundled as part of an integrated managed service: Picture Archive and Communication System (PACS) delivers a highly scalable solution for primary interpretation and advanced visualisation of radiology images. All functionality is provided in a single thin client software application manufactured by Visage imaging. The Visage 7 application helps provide diagnostic and clinical access to radiology studies through a single client providing a range of functionality from 2D image presentation and 3D rendering, through to advanced visualisation and 4D functions for cardiac analysis. The service is based on truly thin client-server streaming technology with all functionality accessible by the Trust via a thin client connected to sophisticated rendering servers in the Accenture data centre. Imaging data is streamed to the client using a specialised streaming protocol which reduces the need for large file transfers and provides instant image access without the need for dedicated local infrastructure or specialised workstations. The PACS solution provides a highly available and disaster tolerant solution across multiple UK data centres providing high levels of service uptime utilising Accenture s highly secure data centre solutions and service organisation. Radiology Information System (RIS) HSS CRIS is a COTS product in use by over 80% of the UK Radiology market. CRIS function is to manage the radiology department workflow interfacing with the PACS to provide the complete suite of functions for medical imaging. CRIS is vendor agnostic, supporting all versions of PACS. It employs a thick Java client on the Trust workstations with Database and Application servers deployed at the Data Centre. Vendor Neutral Archive (VNA) The ability of an archive to provide intelligent long term archiving of imaging data is a key capability in the area of medical imaging. The Universal Clinical Platform by Acuo provides the ability to ingest and manage data from multiple software vendors utilising intelligent data manipulation tools and lifecycle management rules. The VNA combines highly interoperable data management functionality alongside intelligent data management. The VNA helps confirm the seamless movement of data between different systems, manufactured by different vendors and reducing the need for continuous data migrations as systems are replaced overtime. In addition the VNA can reduce the cost of data management throughout the data lifecycle by applying intelligent data rules in order to reduce the cost of data management. The VNA offering provides a strategic component of a Trusts data management strategy, moving beyond the management of traditional imaging departments such as radiology and cardiology and providing a truly cross-clinical data management service. The VNA is capable of managing all clinical data from clinical 3

4 documents and notes through to visible light photographs in a single product, consolidating all clinical data management into a single data repository. The VNA can be provided to either a single Trust or to a consortium of Trusts as a service underpinned by Accenture s flexible and scalable infrastructure.
