S&P 500 gains to extend record run, set for positive week
MORTSEL, BELGIUM - DASA (Diagnósticos da América S.A.), Latin America’s largest diagnostic provider, has chosen AGFA HealthCare’s Enterprise Imaging Platform to unify its imaging IT ecosystem, according to a press release issued Tuesday.
The agreement will replace five legacy systems with a single integrated platform across DASA’s extensive healthcare network in Brazil and Argentina, which encompasses more than 40 healthcare provider brands.
DASA, which operates 321 branches across Brazil and delivers over 15.2 million clinical studies annually, made the decision following demonstrations at healthcare conferences and reference site visits to customers in Chile where they observed the platform’s clinical and operational benefits.
Implementation of the platform has begun in a phased approach, with plans for potential expansion across DASA’s entire network in 2025, which could support up to 15 million studies annually.
The selection comes after DASA and Amil created a joint venture in 2024 that consolidated 25 hospitals and over 4,400 beds, making DASA the second largest hospital group in Brazil.
"Our renewed presence in Brazil, and strong market reputation in Latin America, has instilled deep confidence in our Enterprise Imaging Platform," said Silvio Selvaggio, Regional President for Latin America at AGFA HealthCare.
AGFA HealthCare’s local partner, Konimagem, played a significant role in securing the agreement through their understanding of the Brazilian healthcare landscape and engagement with DASA.
The Enterprise Imaging Platform offers capabilities including pixel streaming, workflow orchestration, augmented intelligence, interoperability, and cloud deployment, which aim to provide radiologists with improved image fidelity and collaboration tools.
