Ohio system invests $10M for IBM Watson PACS upgrade

Cincinnati-based TriHealth announced a $10 million investment to adopt IBM Watson Health's Enterprise Imaging Portfolio, reports the Cincinnati Business Courier.

“I believe this advanced imaging technology will significantly improve the workflow of radiology and other image-intensive specialties, enhancing our physicians’ ability to diagnose and treat patients,” said Frank Schlueter, MD, and TriHealth’s system chief of radiology.

The health system, which includes more than 140 locations, will be the first in Ohio to adopt IBM Watson Imaging Clinical Review. The platform is expected to go live throughout the entire system in early 2019, according to the report.
