At Cantonal Hospital Zenica, EHS implemented a fully integrated diagnostic platform covering both radiology and pathology workflows.

By introducing G-RIS, G-PATH, and Sectra PACS, the hospital established a unified digital environment that improves diagnostic speed, accessibility of results, and overall efficiency of diagnostic services.

Result

The implementation delivered measurable improvements across diagnostic workflows:

• Faster processing and delivery of diagnostic results
• Digital access to radiology and pathology reports via patient portal
• Elimination of paper and physical media in daily workflows
• Reduced administrative errors through barcode-based processes
• Improved tracking and organization of specimens and cases
• Increased productivity of medical staff
• Higher consistency and quality of diagnostics
• Foundation for AI services and advanced analytics

Challenge

Diagnostic departments often operate through partially digital and partially manual processes, leading to inefficiencies, delays, and limited accessibility of results.

At KB Zenica, radiology and pathology workflows required modernization to reduce reliance on paper, improve traceability, and enable faster access to diagnostic information for both patients and clinicians.

Objective

The goal was to establish a fully digital, integrated diagnostic environment that would connect radiology and pathology workflows into a single system.

This included improving turnaround times, enabling digital access to results, reducing administrative errors, and creating a foundation for future technologies such as AI-assisted diagnostics.

Solution delivered

EHS implemented an end-to-end diagnostic platform combining G-RIS for radiology, G-PATH for pathology, and Sectra PACS for imaging and archiving.

In radiology, G-RIS digitalizes the full workflow, from patient intake and scheduling to modality worklists, reporting, and result distribution through the patient portal. Sectra PACS enables instant access to imaging studies with advanced visualization tools, fully integrated with RIS and imaging devices.

In pathology, G-PATH supports a fully digital laboratory workflow, including barcode-based specimen tracking, integration with cassette and slide printers, and digital slide scanning. All diagnostic data, including high-resolution images, is managed and accessed through a connected system, ensuring consistency and traceability across the entire process.

Integration and interoperability

Radiology and pathology systems are integrated into a single diagnostic ecosystem, connecting imaging modalities, laboratory devices, and reporting workflows.

Data flows seamlessly between G-RIS, G-PATH, and Sectra PACS, while results are delivered digitally to patients and clinicians through the portal. Barcode-based processes ensure accurate linking of specimens, images, and reports across both departments.

Rollout and adoption

The implementation introduced digital workflows across both radiology and pathology departments, replacing manual processes with standardized, system-supported operations.

The rollout included system deployment, device integration, and staff training, enabling a smooth transition to digital diagnostics while maintaining continuity of clinical work.

Why this matters

Healthcare providers are increasingly moving toward integrated diagnostic platforms that connect radiology, pathology, and patient access into a single ecosystem.

The KB Zenica project demonstrates how full digitalization of diagnostic departments can improve efficiency, reduce errors, and create a scalable foundation for future innovation in healthcare.
