The leading provider of image-enabled HIE solutions eHealth Technologies http://ehealthtechnologies.com and Baystate Health www.baystatehealth.org one of the largest integrated healthcare systems in New England, now enables users of the Pioneer Valley Information Exchange www.pvix.org (PVIX) to access diagnostic quality images for radiology exams that have been performed at six locations across western Massachusetts.
“eHealth Connect Image Exchange” enables physicians and other care providers using PVIX to view images from any connected location on a common, web-based, zero client diagnostic quality viewing platform called eHealthViewer.
In addition, PVIX users are able to access an HIE-wide worklist that allows them to view two or more imaging studies from different locations in a common image viewing session for quick comparisons, without first transferring them into their local PACS.
According to Joel Vengco, CIO Baystate Health, “This partnership will positively impact patients by eliminating the need for unnecessary duplicate imaging exams while reducing the cost of care.”
“Our partnership with Baystate Health will yield numerous benefits by replacing conventional complex and costly methods for sharing images with a single automated service provided through the HIE, said Gary Larson, Executive VP and General Manager, for HIE Solutions for eHealth Technologies.
