Paramus,
NJ, USA (May 13, 2014) -- Advanced Data Systems Corporation
(ADS),
a leading provider of healthcare automation including MedicsRIS™,
MedicsDocAssistant™ EHR
for Radiology, and MedicsPremier™ PM,
today announced a new strategic partnership with Merge Healthcare
Incorporated (NASDAQ: MRGE), a leading provider of clinical systems
and innovations that seek to advance healthcare. Integrating Merge's
iConnect Network with ADS' MedicsRIS will enable the referring physician communities
of ADS' radiology clients to receive and view exam results and
diagnostic quality images (using a diagnostic display) as well as
other critical patient information as transmitted from within
MedicsRIS.
This
type of advanced interoperability between radiologists and providers
results in decreased duplicate tests and radiation exposure,
improving patient outcomes and increasing physician satisfaction. It
also reduces the cost of care and helps the radiology practice's
referring physicians attest for Meaningful Use Stage 2's (MU2)
imaging requirements by receiving real-time access to viewing
critical diagnostic information directly into their EHR, including
imaging studies.
"Traditional
methods of information delivery between our radiology clients and
their referring physicians will be dramatically improved with the
integration of MedicsRIS and Merge's iConnect Network, enabling
referring physicians to receive radiology reports and patient images
directly into the referring physicians' EHRs, regardless of which
EHRs they use," said David Barizillai, President of ADS. "The
transmitting and sharing of these studies to caregivers is
revolutionized using the iConnect Network. This type of technology
benefits everyone including those who are the most important: the
patients themselves."
"We
are excited to build a new strategic alliance with ADS. Partnerships
such as this are critical to iConnect Network's long-term success, as
they provide new opportunities for both adoption and growth of the
service," said Justin Dearborn, CEO of Merge. "With this
new collaboration in place, we are broadening the market reach of
iConnect Network so more providers can build their referral
relationships, improve physician satisfaction and ultimately enhance
the patient experience across their communities."
