Vendor Neutral Archive (VNA)

Use the Philips Clinical Repository to centralize your enterprise image repository to a single, consolidated and secure vendor neutral archive (VNA) for your healthcare organization. Manage the information lifecycle to contain costs while providing unified access to the images and longitudinal data needed to support clinical workflows and deliver optimal care. Clinical Repository provides access to both structured and unstructured data, with metadata tagging of unstructured data for searchability and meaningful clinical context, as well as the scalability to serve multi-site installations of healthcare organizations.

Features

Intelligent lifecycle management

The medical imaging technology of the archive understands the data and can automatically provide intelligent clinical information lifecycle management (CILM) capabilities that are tailored to the needs of each healthcare provider and each type of data. User-defined rules strike a balance between the clinical need for healthcare providers to view medical images for information over time and the desire to achieve the lowest possible storage costs. Scalable for multi-site deployment

The clinical repository is virtualized to allow sharing and consolidation of the storage infrastructure and to deliver precise, centralized universal patient data management. No matter where the medical images and data are stored or where they originated, the archive can provide the patient’s longitudinal clinical record across the entire healthcare enterprise. Hardware-agnostic, standards-compliant repository

Manage the XDS lifecycle for diagnostic reports and digital imaging data as well as HL7 data (IOCM). Archive all major data formats from different sources. DICOM format, non-DICOM, IHE (including XDS, XDS-i) and WADO. PIX, PDQ and MPI support provides patient data integrity when working in a multiple patient ID environment and presents a seamless patient longitudinal record to the end user. DICOM take-over preserves metadata without the need to replace existing archives. Secure clinical data cloud archiving for business continuity

The archive module is designed with multiple layers of security and redundancy for data protection. Data access can be granted or restricted on an individual basis, based on assigned permissions. Data reliability helps prevent data loss, so that data can be available to users when they need it. This embraces high availability (HA), business continuity (BC) and disaster recovery (DR) plans, backup policies, hardware resilience and processes to provide data that is complete.
