This report offers a snapshot of what health system and cardiovascular leaders think. Some of it validates, while some enlightens. It all helps
guide leadership on a data-rich and insightful journey into the future.

When it comes to CVIS strategy across the survey base, C-suite leaders and cardiovascular department heads share the responsibility equally often. But in academic medical centers and multi-hospital systems, the division of power is different.

When we dig to unearth cardiovascular care’s top trends, challenges and goals, the findings bring the present into sharp relief: Today’s CV
leaders are focused on growth and committed to improving both quality of care and operational performance. They also have their eyes on
retaining talented staff and reducing clinician burnout.

The CV service line has big goals and is mapping out a route to reach them. Leaders are quite focused but know there are roadblocks and traffic jams in their way.

International medical imaging IT and cybersecurity company Sectra has signed a contract with the Swedish healthcare provider Region Halland to deliver its radiology imaging solution as a cloud service.

“Having a common service for the radiology departments in the region simplifies our everyday operations and enables more efficient diagnostics. Sectra’s experience in delivering similar services was important for us when choosing a vendor,” says Inger Hallin, Head of the Radiology Department, Region Halland.

Their ultimate goal is to pilot solutions that prioritize time spent with patients, rather than cumbersome tasks tied to the EHR, the partners said. 

Emergency medicine providers want more “brevity” and "clarity” in their radiology reports, according to a new survey.
