Peoria, Ill.-based OSF HealthCare has launched an initiative to modernize and standardize ultrasound technology across its hospitals and clinics.
Over the next three years, OSF plans to upgrade 139 ultrasound units used in women’s health, general radiology and breast imaging, according to a Jan. 28 news release from the health system. The phased deployment is intended to minimize patient care disruption while ensuring all facilities have access to consistent and advanced imaging systems.
The upgrades will include standardized configurations for probes, software and accessories to improve workflow efficiency and imaging quality across sites.
Initial clinician training will combine classroom instruction with hands-on learning, with ongoing education offered annually.
At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
