By HospiMedica staff writers
Posted on 29 Aug 2006
Agfa HealthCare (Mortsel, Belgium) reported that its Heartlab cardiovascular system for cardiology image and information management received the top rating for cardiology picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) in the KLAS (Orem, UT, USA) Mid-Year Report (June 2006).

Evaluated against a total of eight cardiology PACS vendors, Agfa Heartlab Cardiovascular received the highest overall score on KLAS' detailed analysis of data covering contracting and sales, implementation, service, and upgrade.

The KLAS database, a repository that serves as the basis of the Mid-Year report, is comprised of feedback from more than 6,000 healthcare executives and facilities. The report ranks 300 vendors and 40 health information technology (HIT) product lines. Agfa's overall score in cardiology has increased by 4% since the last report.

"Agfa HealthCare is continuing the Heartlab legacy of innovation, quality, and service,” said Mike LaChance, vice president of Agfa's Cardiovascular Business Unit. "The increase from the last report in our satisfaction rating is testament to our commitment to the service of our customers.”

"A vital element of the KLAS data is that it comes from one source, the clients themselves. KLAS is pleased to recognize Agfa Heartlab with the first place Cardiology PACS ranking in the KLAS Mid-Year Top 20 Report,” said Ralph Reyes Jr., KLAS senior vice president.
