Siemens Healthineers and The Queen’s Health Systems have entered into an eight-year Value Partnership to support the expansion and upgrade of diagnostic imaging offerings at Queen’s to enable more timely access to urgent and routine services for patients across Hawai‘i.
By adopting advanced, AI-enabled imaging systems, including magnetic resonance (MR), computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and X-Ray, Queen’s is working to lessen the impact of nationwide radiology staffing shortages on employees and patients. With faster, more efficient scans and post-scan image review, patients will be better able to remain within the Queen’s systems for imaging services, enhancing their continuity of care.
The new equipment and technology are intended to support Queen’s ongoing efforts to provide a higher quality of care and fulfill its mission of improving the health and well-being of the people of Hawai’i.
The Queen’s Health Systems has more than 9,500 employees and more than 1,800 affiliated physicians and providers in its statewide network. The health system is made up of six hospitals (The Queen’s Medical Center – Punchbowl, The Queen’s Medical Center – West O‘ahu, The Queen’s Medical Center – Wahiawā, The Queen’s Medical Center – Kahi Mohala, Queen’s North Hawai‘i Community Hospital, and Molokai General Hospital).
Value Partnerships are long-term and comprehensive engagements between Siemens Healthineers and healthcare providers, enabling them to create more value to better treat patients and reduce operational complexity. They combine each healthcare provider’s know-how and strategic goals with the technologies, innovations and industry expertise of Siemens Healthineers to address pressing challenges such as workforce and budgetary constraints and enhancing healthcare access in underserved communities.
