Smoother care and better decisions with ERA Image Viewer

ERA Image Viewer streamlines healthcare processes, supports better treatment decisions and improves the patient’s care experience. The service brings X-ray and ECG data, among others, directly to professionals from the Kanta archive. 

Sharpen your diagnosis with comparative data

Physicians can compare new images and ECG recordings with earlier examinations and identify changes in the patient’s condition. When imaging history, reports and result entries are immediately available, the overall picture becomes clearer, and both diagnostics and follow-up care planning are based on more comprehensive information.

Speed up the care pathway and decision-making

Make the treatment decision during the same visit. Care staff can see previous images and reports immediately, which shortens waiting times and speeds up treatment decisions – even when the patient moves to another wellbeing services county or service provider.

Improve patient safety

Unnecessary repeat imaging is avoided, reducing the patient’s exposure to additional radiation and improving the quality of care.

Save costs from day one

ERA Image Viewer makes care work more efficient. Because images are available across organisational boundaries, the extra costs caused by duplicate imaging are avoided.

Get started without a heavy IT project

This browser-based solution does not tie you to any particular patient information system or local PACS system. Deployment is fast and does not require major investments.

Improve the customer and patient experience

Smoother flow of information between organisations means fewer unnecessary visits and less waiting for the customer. Care progresses seamlessly, regardless of where the images were originally taken.

Smoother everyday work and better treatment decisions for physicians and care staff

ERA Image Viewer is designed to support clinical work, not to add to it. In practice, this means:

  • You can see the patient’s previous X-ray, MRI, CT and ECG data without separate requests.
  • You can compare a new ECG recording directly with earlier recordings in the same view.
  • You can check the availability of images before an appointment and plan the visit accordingly. If the required images are not available, the patient can first be referred for imaging.
  • The solution runs in a standard web browser and requires no separate installation or system dependency.
  • Images and reports open quickly, so you can make the treatment decision during the same visit.
  • Images do not need to be requested or sent separately, which reduces the administrative work involved in transferring and recording them.
  • As a CE-marked medical device, ERA Image Viewer can also be used for diagnostic work.
