Merge Seeing Rapid Adoption of New OrthoPACS Solution
March 19 2013 - 7:00AM
Merge Healthcare Incorporated (Nasdaq:MRGE), a leading provider of
clinical systems and innovations that seek to transform healthcare,
today announced more than 650 orthopedic surgeons at more than 50
practices already have or in the process of implementing Merge
OrthoPACSTM, a comprehensive image management and digital
templating solution for orthopedics. In addition, many of the more
than 500 practices that are using legacy technology from Merge plan
to upgrade to Merge OrthoPACS in 2013.
"In 2012, we announced the release of Merge OrthoPACS, a
comprehensive image management and digital templating solution for
orthopedics," said Jeff Surges, CEO of Merge Healthcare. "With the
large number of practices that have already decided to upgrade, it
means there are already hundreds of surgeons taking advantage of
this new solution. We're extremely pleased to see this rapid
adoption and it successfully demonstrates our large investment and
commitment to the orthopedic market."
OrthoVirginia recently decided to upgrade to the new Merge
OrthoPACS. "For us the most important thing was the underlying
technology and our ability to quickly and smoothly upgrade,"
explained Taylor Mawyer, IT Manager for OrthoVirginia. "We know
that the solution is sound and that Merge has been a leader in
imaging for many years. The new, additional functionality was very
welcome, but it all came down the ability for Merge to smoothly
move us from our Styker Office PACS 4.1 to this next generation
solution."
Merge OrthoPACS, a comprehensive image management and digital
templating solution for orthopedics, lets orthopedic surgeons
access images taken at multiple locations in a single viewer,
diagnose from anywhere at anytime, plan for surgery with digital
templating, and securely archive studies. Orthopedic surgeons will
find that the new solution seamlessly fits into and enhances their
current workflow. For example:
− Orthopedic-specific workflows are built into Merge
OrthoPACS, from clinic use to the operating room.
− The Merge OrthoPACS zero-footprint client viewer can be
the sole viewer for an orthopedic practice. That means reading
images will be no different whether a surgeon reads from their
workstation, their iPad, or another device.
− The Merge OrthoPACS viewer also provides access to
pre-surgical templating, including advanced measurements and
automated hip templating.
