Diagnostic imaging and IT company Agfa HealthCare has launched its document management system for healthcare organizations, HYDMedia, in the U.K.

The system—which has been used in Germany, Switzerland and Austria--will allow U.K. healthcare facilities to digitally archive healthcare information including paper-based documents, laboratory data and diagnostic images to provide a single view of the clinical and administrative record via a web-based portal, stated the Mortsel, Belgium-based company.
