The recognition comes as KLAS Research marks its 30th anniversary, celebrating three decades of amplifying the voice of healthcare providers through independent, data-driven insights.

AGFA HealthCare’s Best in KLAS distinctions reflect strong customer validation of its Enterprise Imaging platform – designed to empower clinicians to stay in their flow, reduce complexity across imaging workflows, and enable confident clinical decision-making through connected, high-performing access to images and data.

• Enterprise Imaging VNA: ranked #1 with a 89.8% score in the Vendor Neutral Archive (VNA) segment for the second consecutive year.

“Being recognized across three Enterprise Imaging segments – including multiple consecutive wins – is a powerful affirmation of our clinician-first strategy,” said Nathalie McCaughley, President of AGFA HealthCare. “Healthcare organizations trust us to deliver imaging environments that truly support clinicians in their daily work, while enabling IT and clinical leaders to operate with confidence, performance, and long-term vision. This recognition reflects the strength of our partnerships and our unwavering focus on empowering care teams through connected, intelligent imaging.”

Commenting on the awards, Adam Gale, CEO of KLAS Research, said:

“The Best in KLAS winners have earned the trust of their customers over the past year. With this recognition, they set the standard for excellence through partnership in healthcare technology and services in the months to come.”

Monique Rasband, Global Vice President of Imaging at KLAS Research, added:
“AGFA HealthCare’s strong performance across multiple Enterprise Imaging segments reflects consistent customer feedback. Organizations recognize the value of solutions that help imaging teams work efficiently today while providing a clear path for future growth and innovation.”

The Best in KLAS awards are based on direct feedback from healthcare providers and recognize vendors who consistently demonstrate excellence through partnership, performance, and responsiveness to customer needs.

AGFA HealthCare will celebrate its Best in KLAS recognition during HIMSS 2026, alongside customers and partners, as part of its continued commitment to advancing connected, intelligent, and human-centered imaging at scale.

In Vienna, Enterprise Imaging offers the “Clinician-First” approach to keeping radiologists in their flow, spotlighting the human behind the innovation and empowering them to work in comfort with their technology.

At ECR 2026, AGFA HealthCare will unveil its latest imaging innovations that transform the clinician experience and drive smarter care. Turning knowledge into action, AGFA delivers advancements which empower radiologists with seamless workflows, intelligent automation and tailored diagnostic environments. Under the event 2026 theme “Rays of Knowledge”, AGFA is ready to demonstrate how we have reached the summit of Empowerer – adopting the ‘Clinician-First’ approach, which demonstrates a profound understanding of the clinician’s challenges and workflow realities.

“Clinician First is more than a message – it’s a mindset”, says Andrea Polticchia, Regional President for Southern Europe, AGFA HealthCare. “This approach reflects our deepened commitment – technology exists to serve clinicians, not the other way around. We are seen as the Empowerer in our markets – a partner that understands, anticipates, and designs for the clinician real world experience. This is the level of empowerment that truly supports clinicians – and when clinicians are supported, patient care thrives.”

Built for the people, not just the image, AGFA HealthCare’s Enterprise Imaging platform is designed to keep clinicians, IT teams and healthcare enterprises focused, confident and in control. More than a solution, it’s a connected ecosystem that unifies teams and technologies, simplifies complexity and strengthens collaboration across the care continuum. It’s where advanced technology meets real human need, turning complexity into clarity and burnout into balance.

“ECR has long stood as the pinnacle of European radiological excellence and is the perfect stage to empower the clinical community,” says Roberto Anello, Regional President for Northern Europe, AGFA HealthCare. “Enterprise Imaging brings precision and clarity to every clinical moment, transforming years of experience into seamless diagnostic flow. AGFA HealthCare, has reached a new summit, where deep clinical insight, cutting-edge technology, and human connection converge. Every click, every case, every collaboration is purpose-built around the radiologist’s reality, whether at the hospital, at home, or across a connected care network.”

In September 2025, one interviewed customer – from a position of Chief of Radiology – said:

“AGFA HealthCare’s support and overall customer service are getting better, and we are seeing AGFA HealthCare becoming more involved. They seem to be cleaning up some of the challenges they have had in years past and looking ahead with cloud and AI. We have talked with them about their RUBEE platform, and while I am not sure what the future holds, it is good to see the direction they are going.”

A PACS Administrator interviewee, commented in September 2025.

“The market is moving toward the cloud, though I don’t know that we are ready to make that jump. It is early to say, but I can see us looking at disaster recovery and maybe more things down the road. AGFA HealthCare has been good at talking with us about our path and sharing what they are doing. It doesn’t feel like those conversations are from a sales point of view. It is more that AGFA HealthCare is making sure we know our options. They have also talked about AI and the platform, and we will explore that as we start to add AI in the future.”
