How we enable the seamless transfer of imaging data across facilities and disparate IT systems

• Pre-rollout: We coordinate stakeholder coalitions to secure state and federal funding opportunities We evaluate how to leverage HIE networks to enable your enterprise imaging strategy

• Rollout: Philips implementation teams work with HIE and providers’ IT teams to help roll out the solution 

• Post-rollout: Philips provides ongoing support of the technology infrastructure and continues to drive adoption through stakeholder engagement

Anytime, virtually anywhere imaging data access

• Relieving patients from having to send providers their images on CD can help improve patient satisfaction scores. And accessing recent imaging data can help avoid exposing patients to unnecessary duplicate tests
• Access to a patient’s comparison studies can ensure more conclusive interpretation, assists in first-time-right diagnosis and management of incidental findings
• Greater access to relevant patient history, with fewer duplicated images and studies, can streamline workflows

Typical HIE vendors can exchange care summaries and reports, but not medical images. Meanwhile, image exchange vendors can’t share care summaries and reports. This creates an incomplete picture of the patient’s health and inefficient workflows. Our solution enables maximum connectivity between systems and so clinicians can access and share both digital imaging studies stored in their PACS system and reports in their EMR in an integrated way. Leveraging the HIE infrastructure to exchange these images uses the secure infrastructure, policies and agreements already in place.
