The People’s Choice Awards, Grammys and Oscars aren’t the only prestigious awards that get handed out at this time of year. Research firm KLAS announced the winners of its Best in KLAS: Software & Services awards today, celebrating top-ranking companies based on the feedback of their own customers.

According to a prepared statement from KLAS, these honors are “reserved for vendor solutions that lead the software and services market segments with the broadest operational and clinical impact on healthcare organizations.” 2015/2016 marks the 18th anniversary of these awards.

In the software category, Sectra’s PACS won the Best in KLAS award for being the top PACS among hospitals with more than 200 beds. Meanwhile, INFINITT PACS won in both the PACS (Ambulatory) and PACS (Community) categories.

DICOM Grid’s DG Suite was named Best in KLAS in the Image Exchange category, Merge’s iConnect Enterprise Archive won the VNA/Image Archive category, and Merge’s Unity RIS won for Radiology.

Adam Gale, president and CEO of KLAS, praised the award winners in the statement.
