FLETCHER ALLEN HEALTH CARE OF VERMONT SELECTS TRAUMACAD ORTHOPEDIC SURGICAL SOFTWARE TO ENHANCE PLANNING TO THEIR SURGICAL TEAM
Health Center Expects the Software Will Help it in Its Continued Efforts to Improve Quality Patient Care.
Burlington, VT— Fletcher Allen Health Care of Burlington, VT, a Community Hospital and the
State’s Academic Health Center, serving over 1 million people in Vermont and Northern New
York, has selected Orthocrat, the industry’s leading digital orthopedic surgical planning
solution, to provide advanced orthopedic surgical planning and templating software for the
center’s orthopedic surgeons.
According to Dr. Michael Ricci, vice president of Clinical Service, Fletcher Allen Health Care
will be taking a big step forward with TraumaCad. “Not only will we achieve our objective of
eliminating film, we will increase our orthopedic surgeons' efficiency by giving them stateof-
the-art tools for pre-operative planning.”
Fletcher Allen’s medical staff access TraumaCad through their state-of-the-art McKesson
Horizon Radstation (HRS). HRS, with its advanced display protocols and flexible review
functionalities, are available across the enterprise and are seamlessly integrated to
TraumaCad. Through McKesson Horizon Medical Imaging’s (HMI) open, standards-based
integration capabilities, TraumaCad’s orthopedic relevant tools are available anywhere on
the PACS network and throughout the enterprise. TraumaCad’s templated images are then
seamlessly updated in HMI ensuring orthopedic surgeons have their surgical plans available
on demand through the PACS enterprise.
“Orthocrat is proud to have our TraumaCad software selected by such a prestigious medical
center,” said Orthocrat’s VP of Business Development, Hayim Raclaw. “Fletcher Allen’s
choice of TraumaCad validates our commitment to delivering advanced orthopedic
functionality in the most IT-friendly manner in the market today.”
Fletcher Allen’s selection committee realized TraumaCad provides a host of advantages over
competing solutions, most importantly, a true thin-client Web-based architecture, which
allows it to download from a central server and deliver a consistent working environment,
integrated with PACS, wherever users are working on a hospital network, a truly valuable
advantage for this complex health care facility.
