Rome, October 29 (askanews) – From the ability to generate clinical data to the need to archive, protect, and make it available throughout treatment pathways, to the sustainability of digital investments over time: this is the direction Fujifilm Healthcare Italia's commitment to the technological evolution of healthcare is developing. The company has received the "Vertical Solution Partner of the Year FY25 EMEA" award from Hitachi Vantara, recognizing the consolidation of a long-standing collaboration in IT infrastructure, cloud, and data management.
This partnership allows Fujifilm's Healthcare IT technologies to be integrated with infrastructure solutions for storing, managing, and protecting information. Fujifilm had already achieved Edge-to-Core-to-Cloud Infrastructure and Resell Partner status in 2023 as part of the Hitachi Vantara Partner Program.
This journey demonstrates the continuity of a collaboration developed over time to meet the needs of an increasingly digital and interconnected healthcare sector. This recognition, explains Kai Fukuzawa, Chairman of the Board of Directors of FUJIFILM Healthcare Italia, is a source of great satisfaction and confirms the value of the collaboration with Hitachi Vantara, in the belief that strategic partnerships are essential to foster innovation and address the challenges of a constantly evolving sector like healthcare. The need to adopt a long-term vision of digital transformation was also central to Fujifilm Healthcare Italia's participation in the Healthcare Innovation Summit, with Eugenio Talarico, Medical Informatics BU Manager, speaking at the roundtable discussion dedicated to the sustainability of the digital component of healthcare, the effects of the PNRR, and possible management models. Ensuring that the investments made through the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) continue to generate value even after the project financing and implementation phase has concluded is crucial.
Indeed, digital transformation doesn't end with the acquisition of a technology or the activation of a platform: to translate into tangible improvements in healthcare services, it requires sustainable management models, infrastructure maintenance and updating, data security, operator training, and system and process integration. The digital transformation of healthcare therefore requires an approach that integrates technology, infrastructure, organization, and management continuity. "Technology creates value when it truly enters the daily work of healthcare facilities and contributes to improving treatment pathways," says Davide Campari, Managing Director of Fujifilm Healthcare Italia, who is committed to connecting diagnostic innovation, digital infrastructure, and expertise to ensure information is available securely and timely. This will contribute to more accessible and sustainable healthcare, with more effective tools for professionals and tangible benefits for patients.
