A new step forward in Imaging IT is here—AXREM’s Imaging IT Special Focus Group has officially published its manifesto, setting the stage for a tech-powered transformation in patient care.

With a long-standing legacy in bringing together companies that provide PACS, RIS, VR, Cloud & Hosted systems, and teleradiology services, this group has evolved into a proactive force at the forefront of Imaging IT innovation.

Putting Patients at the Heart of IT Strategy

The manifesto outlines clear priorities for AXREM’s Imaging IT members, focusing on:

  • Cybersecurity as a cornerstone of safe digital healthcare
  • Streamlining workflows to give clinicians more time to focus on patient care
  • Accessibility and innovation in medical imaging
  • Supportive policy advocacy
  • Technology adoption integration and innovation
  • Adherence to high standards and best practices across the sector.

A Call for Collaboration

Beyond its strategic priorities, the manifesto serves as a rallying cry for the entire Imaging IT community. AXREM is urging all stakeholders to unite in their mission to advance healthcare through digital innovation.

With a strong focus on AI, machine learning, and cloud-based technologies, the group is advocating for a future where medical imaging is smarter, faster, and more secure. Together, they envision a healthcare ecosystem where improved outcomes are driven by cutting-edge tech and collective wisdom.
