Leading health imaging company Pro Medicus Limited [ASX: PME] today announced its wholly owned U.S. subsidiary, Visage Imaging, Inc., has signed a $12M, 8-year contract with Oregon- based Samaritan (“Samaritan”) Health Services, a community-based, integrated delivery network (IDN) based in Oregon.

Samaritan has five hospitals in the mid-Willamette Valley and central Oregon Coast.

Based on a transactional licensing model, the contract will see the company’s cloud-engineered Visage 7 Enterprise Imaging Platform (‘Visage 7’), including Visage 7 Open Archive and Visage 7 Workflow modules, implemented throughout Samaritan providing a unified diagnostic imaging platform across the network.

Planning for the rollout is to commence immediately and will be based on Visage’s proven cloud-based implementation process, with initial go-lives targeted for the second half of the 2023 calendar year.

“Samaritan joins our growing list of IDN clients and will reinforce our strong presence in the Northwest region of the United States,” said Dr Sam Hupert, Pro Medicus CEO. “IDNs are the largest market segment in North America, and this is our fifth material IDN contract in the last 12 months.”

Samaritan has opted for a fully cloud-based solution, a trend that has continued to spread across the North American healthcare IT market.

“This deal represents another “full-stack” Visage 7 solution comprising all three Visage products namely viewer, workflow and archive, and builds on our increasing momentum in the IDN space. It also reinforces our view that our platform is equally suited to mid-sized IDNs as it is to the larger ones, enabling us to address multiple segments of this important market.”
