Detroit hospital system to upgrade department

Sacramento, CA-Ophthalmic Imaging Systems (OIS) has been awarded a $548,000 contract with Henry Ford Health System to provide the ophthalmology departments in 15 locations with fully integrated digital systems.

Under the conditions of the agreement, the Sacramento-based company will perform two upgrades-convert the film-based ophthalmic photography systems to digital imaging systems and employ a completely automated interface system throughout the department to allow for automated import of a variety of diagnostic tests to a single platform.

In addition to the OIS contract, the Detroit-based health system will spend about $700,000 for related information technology hardware and integration upgrades.
