Peninsula Ultrasound experiences intuitive workflow management

The Peninsula Ultrasound team.

Established in 2008 and operating from its head office in Truro, Peninsula Ultrasound is formed from a partnership of clinical professionals with many years’ experience in healthcare and the NHS.  The company offers the primary care sector a diagnostic service performed in a cost-effective and community-driven method.

In 2014, the scanning centre used a RIS on which to report and a system to manage clinical images.  The RIS connection stemmed from the main RIS of the local hospital, Royal Cornwall in Truro, and was initiated to meet both the localised needs of the patient and lessen the imaging workload for the trust.

After seeking guidance from leading suppliers, in 2016 Peninsula contacted RIS developer Soliton IT for a system demonstration on its Radiology+ service.

Impressed with the flexibility of the system and development experience demonstrated by Soliton IT, Peninsula Ultrasound chose Radiology+ for roll-out across its 25 sites.  Managing director Karl Sturtridge comments: “The biggest attraction for me was to have complete control of our operation; being able to set up the clinics, manage worklists and tailor this to what was required.  That was the difference with Radiology+ and Soliton IT, someone has really given these processes thought and set about developing it effectively.”
