NHS hospitals, ICBs and imaging networks, and private hospital groups and imaging centres across Great Britain can now benefit from the power of Merge VNA (Vendor Neutral Archive) through HSL. This advanced enterprise imaging solution is designed to address the growing challenges of medical imaging, providing hospitals and clinicians across multiple sites with seamless, scalable, and cost-effective collaboration and image management.

As imaging demands continue to increase due to changing demographics and industry dynamics, NHS and private hospitals and imaging centres face multiple challenges:

• Increasingly higher volumes of imaging studies with more complex diagnoses.
• Growing study sizes lead to longer reading times and increased storage and computing costs.
• Instant access to imaging data anytime, anywhere often hindered by patient images stored across disparate systems and different sites.
• Tighter government regulations requiring enhanced interoperability, data accessibility and security.

HSL is proud to introduce Merge VNA to the Britishmarket, enabling healthcare organisations to efficiently manage their enterprise imaging content. As a truly vendor-neutral solution, Merge VNA integrates with existing imaging systems, eliminating the need for costly technology overhauls.
