Phased Replacement of IMPAX Viewer - South Zone Next

As previously posted, Provincial Enterprise Imaging (PEI) is replacing the IMPAX system as the new Picture Archive and Communication System (PACS). The next phase of implementation will be in South Zone, on Tuesday, May 27, 2025. With PEI implementation, OrthoView will also replace MediCAD as the orthopedic templating software. 

• PEI Implementation
• After PEI implementation, many medical staff will view diagnostic images and reports via the XERO Viewer in Connect Care.
• Tip: Launching Xero Viewer 
• Training is required to access PEI; training is available through MyLearningLink. Physicians and staff who require PEI access should have received an email to their AHS inbox from Identity Access Management (IAM) in March with training details.
• If your role requires emergent access to images and you have not received a training invitation, please contact ProvincialEnterpriseImaging@ahs.ca. 

• OrthoView Implementation

• OrthoView is an advanced orthopedic planning tool integrated within PEI.
• To learn more about OrthoView, see the poster for links to resources, including a recorded 1-hour OrthoView training session. 
• Training for OrthoView is available upon request. If you require OrthoView training, please contact ImagingAppsSupport@ahs.ca.

Calgary Zone will implement PEI in September (a reminder will be posted here close to implementation date); for more information, see the posters.
