Addition of XDS capabilities will further Intelerad’s interoperability support and enhance customers’ cross-enterprise access to patient images and information.
Denver, Colorado and Montreal, Canada – December 2, 2014 – Intelerad Medical Systems™, a leader in medical imaging PACS, RIS and workflow solutions, today announced they have signed a teaming agreement to leverage Forcare’s IHE Cross-Enterprise Document Sharing (XDS) functionality to further enhance their cross-enterprise data sharing abilities.
“We are excited that Intelerad will leverage Forcare’s standards-based health information exchange technology to complement their market-leading radiology interoperability suite,” said Andries Hamster, Founder & Chief Marketing Officer, Forcare. “Through this agreement, we look forward to helping them expand on these capabilities to pursue larger HIE projects.”
By integrating XDS technology, imaging enterprises are able to discover and retrieve relevant patient images and reports, and share related documents with affiliated enterprises. For radiologists, this helps improve quality through a better understanding of the patient’s history, while facilitating collaboration among healthcare providers and improving the continuity of care.
Rapid access to information stored in disparate repositories across the enterprise also improves the productivity of radiologists and technologists by reducing unnecessary patient transfers and exams. In addition, leveraging XDS-I can reduce operational costs associated with the acquisition, storage, management and sharing of medical records.
