CHRISTUS Health Implements New Sectra Medical Imaging System

An experienced healthcare system administrator, Paul Generale serves as executive vice president and chief strategy and network officer at CHRISTUS Health in Dallas. Paul Generale and his team ensure efficient, responsive healthcare services for an extensive patient population in Texas, New Mexico, and Louisiana.

In a move to improve efficiency, CHRISTUS Health recently announced a partnership with Sectra, a leading global IT and cybersecurity firm with a medical imaging focus. The plan is to establish an integrated imaging strategy across 30 hospitals, as well as several imaging centers, within a leading not-for-profit Catholic healthcare system.

The new system encompasses cardiology, mammography, and radiology modules and has a vendor neutral archive (VNA) at its core for storing and organizing imaging. Other aspects of the scalable platform include a universal viewer, business analytics, and advanced visualization resources. The system also features a recently FDA-approved full-scale digital pathology module.

Implementing the Sectra platform is a vital step toward improving productivity and collaborative capacities at CHRISTUS Health.
