Fully supporting a Thin Client environment, MEDxConnect version 2.5, offers full integration with GE Centricity PACS. Featuring a collaborative development and testing process, MEDxConnect is fully interoperable with GE Centricity PACS and Centricity IW. Compressus also recently completed new integrations with Philips iSite, Hologic SecurView, Visage Imaging, and PowerScribe speech recognition software, continuing to expand its industry leading portfolio of workstation, VR, RIS and PACS integrations. The ability to address all PACS viewing environments, assures customer confidence and ease of use while helping to maintain and leverage previous IT and infrastructure investments.
According to Mark Gonwa, MD, radiologist and president of E-Rad Solutions, a teleradiology service provider that uses MEDxConnect system to help imaging practices optimize workflow, the 2.5 release continues to improve access to critical patient information as referred to in a recent report in the Journal of Digital Imaging, which cites lack of access to pertinent clinical patient data may be a critical element that limits the accuracy of the radiologist's diagnostic decision-making process.
"The findings support our own experiences, that most radiologists want more clinical information when interpreting images and that this information would impact their report, but are discouraged by the time it takes to access this information. The researchers concluded that based on the fact that hospitals have multiple different systems used to access clinical data, which presents challenges through multiple logins and user interfaces, there is a critical need for an integrated application for the automatic identification, selection, retrieval and display of pertinent patient information at the time of interpretation. Since we implemented MEDxConnect for a hospital group in Florida, we have easy access to all data critical for us to make accurate and expedient diagnoses. The system routinely provides reading physician's clinical documentation, prior reports and images with the new study automatically with no manual intervention," added Dr. Gonwa.
The Addendum Enhancement feature builds on MEDxConnect's proven single Virtual Worklist solution that enables users to automatically pre-fetch all types of patient information, including historical and demographic data, prior reports and images, and physicians' notes from disparate information and imaging systems, irrespective of vendor, and distribute it to the appropriate physicians in real-time. In addition to pre-fetching the user-configured number and type of studies and patient information, the System now also provides a list of other data that is available should the physician want it to make their read. Users now have the option to permanently attach this new data to the original study packet, ensuring that it is available for referring physicians or future reads.
Other new features include the Order Management Module OM2 module, which automatically creates an electronic order in cases where there is no RIS. Needed for other systems in the Enterprise, such as VR, to acknowledge and process the exam packet, the OM2 now creates the order in HL7. The Study forward feature enables users to pass studies to specialists or colleagues for consultations. Previously, studies could not be forwarded or passed once they were claimed. Version 2.5 also expanded the ability for groups to customize routing and worklist rules through general, modality and subspecialty worklists. The enhanced ability to share studies, assures optimal sub-specialization and enhanced workflow.
"The study featured in the Journal of Digital Imaging continues to validate the reason we pioneered the concept of Interoperability System Solutions to the market in the first place; that the lack of interoperability between existing information and imaging systems is one of the most critical problems facing the diagnostic and management effectiveness of the healthcare profession today," said Janine Broda, vice president and general manager for Compressus' Medical Solutions Division. "With the next generation of the MEDxConnect System, we have expanded its capabilities to address all markets, from general imaging to subspecialty, and provide fast, effective, accurate, and affordable solution providing seamless connectivity and interoperability."
