Lifeline Vascular Access was created in 1999 and has received the Gold Seal of Approval™ from the Joint Commission, which is recognized nationwide as a symbol of quality that reflects an organization’s commitment to meeting high healthcare performance standards.
According to Mr. David Delp, Lifeline’s IT Director, iQ-VIEW® is the viewer of choice in most of Lifeline’s access centers:
“Our partnering nephrologists and interventionalists are performing procedures which necessitate doing studies on the dialysis access sites for hemodialysis patients. We are utilizing both Philips and GE C-Arms as wells as SonoSite ultrasound machines. We are running DICOM servers to store and manage images and we are using iQ-VIEW® to view them. We currently have about 60 facilities around the country and have iQ-VIEW® installed in all but a few of them, as the viewer that our partnering physicians utilize.”
