International medical imaging, IT and cybersecurity company Sectra is implementing its enterprise imaging as a fully managed cloud solution at Southlake Health in Canada. This will streamline workflows and facilitate collaboration within and between the healthcare provider's radiology and breast imaging departments. Moreover, being operated on cloud technology, the solution will strengthen scalability and security. This transition will contribute to enhanced and faster diagnostics, ultimately improving the care they provide for their patients.
Southlake Health provides care to Northern York Region and Southern Simcoe County in Canada. In 2025, Southlake was recognised among the top three community hospitals in Ontario and as one of the top hospitals in Canada that has earned Exemplary Accreditation Standing for its high-quality care and patient safety. Every year, the healthcare provider performs approximately 240,000 exams.
"As Sectra will take full responsibility for the system's technology, it will ease the burden on our IT team. We also hope to enhance diagnostic speed for our physicians as this transition will provide them with tools for increased efficiency and improved collaboration capabilities. We are happy to begin implementing Sectra's cloud solution and are looking forward to experiencing the benefits it will bring for our organisation and staff," says Amir Soheili, Vice President, Digital Health and Diagnostics at Southlake Health.
As Sectra One Cloud is a fully managed cloud solution, Sectra will monitor, optimise, and continuously upgrade the solution, alleviating the burden from IT teams at Southlake Health. The solution can also be scaled to accommodate growth as volumes increase and expansion into other imaging specialities.
"In healthcare, even a brief system outage can delay critical diagnoses or treatment. That's why secure, resilient infrastructure is essential," says Nader Soltani, President of Sectra in Canada. "By moving its imaging infrastructure to Sectra One Cloud, Southlake is strengthening its ability to protect patient data and keep imaging systems running no matter what. We're honoured to support Southlake in this transition."
