Merge Healthcare Announces Strategic Collaboration Partnership with Emdeon
By MedImaging International staff writers Posted on 15 Feb 2015 |
Merge Healthcare (Chicago, IL, USA), a leader in clinical systems and healthcare innovations and Emdeon (Nashville, TN, USA), a leader in healthcare revenue and payment cycle management and clinical information exchange solutions, have agreed to work together to help hospitals and imaging centers that use the Merge iConnect Network improve efficiency and reduce costs, while streamlining imaging order, and result processing workflows.
The collaboration will expand the connectivity of iConnect Network users, and enable them to receive and transmit imaging orders and results to imaging providers more efficiently, replacing existing paper-based processes. The improvements will make use of the hospital and imaging center Electronic Health Record (EHR) to streamline their workflows. The partnership will also allow referring physicians to track patients’ post-referral care and help facilitate shared-savings programs.
Tom McEnery, chief strategic marketing officer at Emdeon, commented, “Physicians are often faced with the task of pulling a handful of images from an archive of billions within a PACS system in order to make an informed care decision. Not only is this process cumbersome on staff, but it may delay the patient’s diagnosis. The partnership with Merge will help our providers get the critical information they need, when they need it, allowing them to diagnose patients more effectively.”
