Near-real-time image access

St. Vincent's Private Hospital is the largest acute private hospital in Dublin and part of the only integrated multi-hospital campus in Ireland. The Enterprise Imaging Platform will deliver the advanced capabilities and robust availability that the hospital needs.

"St. Vincent's Private Hospital is a unique healthcare environment. As we are on the same grounds as St. Vincent's University Hospital, we can share resources, expertise and medical facilities with this leading academic teaching establishment. This enables us to deal with a high volume of patients, often who have complex medical requirements. Imaging is core to this care. AGFA HealthCare's Enterprise Imaging will give us the reliable, robust platform that we need, whilst delivering very fast access to studies. Furthermore, AGFA HealthCare is able to support this system with managed services and monitoring that will maximise our uptime, while minimising the burden on our own resources," says Tim Aseervatham, Healthcare/Diagnostic Informatics Manager for St. Vincent's Private Hospital.

"We are proud of the trust that St. Vincent's Private Hospital - a key healthcare player in Ireland - is placing in AGFA HealthCare. This further demonstrates the success of our long-standing commitment to delivering solutions that improve the delivery of healthcare to patients in both the private and public healthcare sector in Ireland and beyond. Enterprise Imaging enables the creation of a secure, modular and scalable ecosystem, which helps the hospital to reduce complexity, improve clinical collaboration, and enhance workflow efficiency. By empowering all users to access imaging studies in near-real-time, it will allow them to focus on tasks that add value to both their patients' care and experience," says Colin Foley, Regional Business Manager for AGFA HealthCare Ireland.

Seamless care and collaboration

The Radiology Department at St. Vincent's Private Hospital is one of the largest radiology services in the country, offering a full range of diagnostic and interventional services. It performs over 65,000 studies every year, including X-ray, CT, mammography, MRI, ultrasound, fluoroscopy and DEXA. The department is made up of 18 consultant radiologists working in conjunction with highly qualified radiographers and nurses and supported by experienced administrators.

Enterprise Imaging will integrate with the hospital's existing pillar and patient referral systems and will replace all paper-based workflows. The five-year agreement includes:

  • Enterprise Imaging for Radiology and Breast Imaging: a one-of-a-kind, seamless and secure platform designed to build a connected, collaborative, and scalable community of care. Enterprise Imaging delivers "life in flow" to meet radiologists' daily challenges through a highly focused, efficient and customisable experience.
  • Best in KLAS XERO® Universal Viewer: provides patient-centric image access across the enterprise, with pixel streaming in near-real time on almost any device with no downloads or data moves, and enhanced viewing with clinical depth, collaboration and sharing, all on a single web viewer.

  • Scheduling: facilitates managing appointments and orders for even the most complex imaging procedures in one easy and quick web-based application.
  • Structured and precision reporting, including ACR BI-RADS® ATLAS and ACR PI-RADS® ATLAS: fully integrated in the Enterprise Imaging Platform, it combines customisation with automation to support clear communication and enhanced decision-making.
  • Workflow orchestration: intelligently and automatically assigns tasks to radiologists, based on the chosen criteria.
  • Collaboration tools: support multidisciplinary teams with the multimedia patient images they need, wherever they are, including at the point of care. 
  • Actionable findings notification: closes the loop between radiologists and clinicians through rapid and effective communication of incidental and critical imaging findings.
  • Native 3D tools and advanced visualisation, plus seamlessly embedded third-party clinical application.
  • Portal for patients and physicians: makes it easy for patients and physicians outside of the hospital to access medical images and results.

"Professional services firms face a capability paradox," said Ash Khanna, Head of Professional Services at General Assembly. "AI can accelerate output, but it can't replace the judgment that comes from doing the hard work. We're seeing junior talent generate recommendations faster than ever, but struggle to defend the reasoning behind them. Firms must invest in the durable human skills that make AI output credible and defensible. Upskilling can't be an afterthought; it has to be as central to a firm's AI strategy as the technol

Open, Collaborative Initiative to Establish Identity, Preserve Intent, and Make Trust Measurable in AI-Initiated Commerce LEHI, UT AND NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / March 24, 2026 / IXOPAY, the enterprise-grade global payment infrastructure platform built for the era of agentic commerce, and Zip, the digital financial services company offering innovative, people-centred products, today announced a joint initiative to define a Unified Trust Layer - an open industry framework designed to address emerging trust and liability challenges in agent-initiated commerce and payments. Agentic commerce introduces a structural shift in payments. Traditional infrastructure was built around a four-party risk model - consumer, merchant, issuing bank, and acquiring bank - with the assumption that a human initiated the transaction. As AI agents begin acting autonomously, that model no longer holds. Payment systems were not designed to consistently preserve identity, intent, and context in a machine-v
