Our Industry
Radiological COCIR members
offer a wide range of systems and solutions for medical imaging purposes, which
are essential in delivering quality healthcare. Medical imaging products
include magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), diagnostic
ultrasound equipment, nuclear medicine and radiotherapy equipment used in
hospitals as well as outpatient facilities and doctors’ surgeries.
Electromedical COCIR members
also produce electromedical devices which are used in a wide range of medical
applications. These products include patient monitoring equipment for use in
intensive care units, anaesthetic and respiratory equipment as well as
electromedical equipment used in surgical interventions. Increasingly, such
products are being used in the home environment, e.g. personal heart monitors
used for remote and mobile cardiac monitoring, giving at-risk patients more
freedom in managing their condition.
Healthcare IT Industry Healthcare IT solutions are
becoming more and more important for improving the efficiency and quality in
healthcare. Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) as well as
departmental and enterprise information systems make full use of the
possibilities offered by modern digital medical equipment. Interoperability
between medical devices which generate medical data and the healthcare IT
solutions which store and communicate this data is the most important building
block for the creation of electronic patient records (EPR).
Hospital information systems (HIS) and other departmental solutions will make
patient care more reliable and facilitate the transfer of patient information
throughout the healthcare system. |
