In 2016, Barnsley Hospital NHS Foundation Trust underwent a substantial departmental overhaul that resulted in improved patient experience, workflow efficiencies, cost savings and higher staff morale.

As part of this project, the hospital installed Fujifilm’s Retrofit solution in three CR rooms, which delivered a cost-effective DR upgrade to aging CR assets with minimal disruption.

The flexibility of the Fujifilm Retrofit solution is intended to provide long-term investment that can be repurposed with any analogue room or mobile, or any Fujifilm DR room or DR mobile.  The first Visionary Suite room has now been installed at Barnsley Hospital.

“We have partnered with Fujifilm to deliver a cost-effective, long-term solution for our department based on the image quality, reliability and service that they offer,” said medical imaging directorate manager Liz Elfleet.  “The support and training is excellent and always available, and our staff find the equipment easy to navigate and an aid to improved workflow.”
