In response to the increasingly ubiquitous role of medical information systems in healthcare, FujiFilm Medical Systems has created a Medical Informatics Solution–Global (MIS-G) division while also shaking up the highest level of its informatics executive team.

Fuji said the purpose of the newly initiated Medical Informatics Solutions division is to expand the company's products and services offerings in informatics as well as to strengthen collaboration on informatics within the company.

Stamford, Conn.-based Fuji Medical Systems chose its own Masaaki Ohtsuka as the division's president, while promoting Bob Cooke to senior vice president of Fuji's U.S. team, expanding that role to include not only sales and marketing but also IT.
