Fuji Synapse PACS to be upgraded in October

The IT Imaging team strives to ensure the best technology available for our caregivers, so that they may continue to move health forward and fulfill their vital missions in our healing ministry. With that goal in mind, we are excited to announce upcoming enhancements to our Fuji Synapse PACS software.

The application will be upgraded on Oct. 3, 2020 and available to all end users on October 4, whether using it on a hospital network or accessing it externally through My Virtual Workplace or the NSG portal. While its function will remain the same overall, the application will look very different because the application will move to a web-based display.

Using the web-based client improves operational efficiency since the application will no longer require install or update on individual workstations. Epic Image links will be able to open in Google Chrome as well as Internet Explorer.

It will also provide the caregiver with improved navigation and functionality. More tools will be accessible on the application to review and compare images across the system, providing a better and more secure end-user experience.

To prepare users for the changes, radiology departments that have already been working with the new interface are able to assist. In addition, hospital-site provider trainers will be available to share what they have learned. All who may be affected are encouraged to participate in proactive self-training with helpful tip sheets now available on our intranet webpage:

Look for communications regarding additional materials in the coming weeks. We are in the process of adding videos and advanced-training tip sheets to the webpage library that will help users navigate the application and learn all the new features.

If you would like additional training, please reach out to your local radiology department or your hospital-site provider trainer. You may also contact Christine Pomeroy, IT Imaging Software Analyst, at christinepomeroy@centura.org for questions.

We look forward to the opportunity to support our caregivers in this transition and enjoying the benefits our upgraded Fuji Synapse PACS will provide us in the future!
