eHealth Technologies http://ehealthtechnologies.com a provider of image-enabled HIE solutions, and HealtheConnections www.healtheconnections.org a RHIO supporting HIE for eleven counties in central and northern N.Y., have teamed up to share medical images across the care provider community in a way never before possible.
Today, by embedding image exchange within HIE services, HealtheConnections provides hospitals and imaging centers access to all imaging studies for patients across Central N.Y. Radiologists and staff are able to access the HIE and select external studies of interest and with a single click, seamlessly reconcile and transfer information into their own PACS.
This is possible since HIE users can do a study from any connected imaging location using the eHealthViewer® ZF-a zero footprint a web-based viewing platform which is a fully diagnostic quality FDA 10(k) Class II medical device.
Also, with a single click from the viewer, users can initiate an immediate screen sharing consultation session with any other authorized care provider in the community for wet reads, second opinions, and then consult with referring physicians and specialists.
“We receive 200,000 plus imaging studies a month from 29 hospitals and independent radiology centers. The ability to review, share, and now download imaging studies is a valued service to our providers, reports Rob Hack, President and CEO of HealtheConnections.
