Free whitepaper from BridgeHead Software explains how vendor
neutral archives (VNAs) can help the NHS reduce IT costs, increase
efficiency and improve data protection
Ashtead, UK – Tuesday 7th June –
BridgeHead Software, a leader in healthcare data and
storage management, today released a free whitepaper called “What
Should the NHS Expect from Vendor Neutral
Archiving?”
Jamie Clifton – Director Of Product Management
The new whitepaper explains how VNAs can help the NHS improve
the cost, protection, security, interoperability and management of
their medical images, Electronic Patient Records and administrative
files. It also outlines some of the key characteristics of a VNA,
as well as exploring the challenges the owners of Picture and
Archiving Communication Systems (PACS) are looking to solve.
Jamie Clifton, author of the whitepaper and Director of Product
Management, BridgeHead Software, said, “This is a great
opportunity to review what is currently being done with diagnostic
imaging in the NHS, not just in terms of the sharing and accessing
of diagnostic imaging data, but also in terms of the storage,
protection and management of that data within the broader IT
infrastructure.”
Clifton added, “BridgeHead’s view is that while
PACS owners are leading the charge in defining what they need from
a vendor neutral archive, a VNA should also take into account the
storage, management, sharing, accessing, protection and security of
all data across the entire hospital, not just imaging data. In my
experience, this integrated approach to vendor neutral archiving
reduces costs and increases efficiency by facilitating sharing,
compliance requests and disaster recovery all in the same
technology platform.”
Free printed copies of the “What
Should the NHS Expect from Vendor Neutral Archiving?”
whitepaper are available on request – simply email

currently exhibiting at the UK Radiological Congress (Stand
211) at the Manchester Central Convention Centre, between June
6 – 8, where copies will also be available. Alternatively,
