Fujifilm launches cloud-based enterprise imaging platform
Fujifilm Healthcare Americas Corporation has introduced Synapse One, a comprehensive enterprise imaging and informatics platform specifically designed for outpatient imaging centres in North America. The solution, unveiled at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) 2025 Conference, consolidates multiple clinical applications into a single cloud-based system to address operational inefficiencies facing outpatient facilities.
Integrated workflow architecture addresses cost pressures
The platform combines patient engagement portals, self-scheduling capabilities, radiology information systems (RIS), advanced scheduling, revenue cycle management (RCM) options, picture archiving and communication systems (PACS), advanced 3D imaging, and physician portals within the Synapse platform. By hosting all informatics content on Amazon Web Services (AWS) secure public cloud, the system eliminates data centre expenses and reduces security management burdens for imaging centres.
Outpatient imaging facilities face mounting financial pressure from rising operational costs, declining reimbursement rates, and intensifying market competition. Synapse One addresses these challenges by consolidating multiple applications, thereby eliminating third-party integrations and support contracts whilst maintaining the functionality of Fujifilm’s Synapse Enterprise Imaging platform.
Operational efficiency focus drives development
“In an environment where radiologists are continuously asked to read more imaging, and imaging centres are looking for every edge to be more efficient and competitive, we saw a unique opportunity to combine our technologies into Synapse One,” said Bill Lacy, senior vice president of medical informatics global business at Fujifilm Healthcare Americas Corporation. “We wanted to set a high bar with Synapse One and lower current operational spending, while at the same time, deliver a better technology solution and deliver it in a more secure cloud environment.”
Strategic technology investment
The reduced operational expenditure model aims to free capital for facilities to invest in artificial intelligence technologies, pre-authorisation tools, and other modernisation initiatives that may have previously been deferred due to budget constraints. By streamlining the technology stack, outpatient centres can redirect resources towards clinical innovation and patient care enhancement.
The solution targets the specific workflow requirements of outpatient imaging environments, distinguishing it from broader enterprise imaging platforms designed for hospital systems. Fujifilm demonstrated Synapse One at the RSNA Conference, held from 30 November to 3 December 2025.
Synapse One is currently available exclusively for users in North America.
