"At UCSDHS, we are committed to high quality of care and
physician satisfaction, which is why we initiated a project that

explained Edward Babakanian, CIO, UCSDHS. "We wanted the ability to
provide in-house physicians with access to images from our EPIC EMR
system from any device, as well provide referring physicians with
access to those same images and reports. We also wanted to address
the Meaningful Use Stage Two requirements for image sharing."
"We're excited to be partnering with UC San Diego Health System
to help them image-enable their EHR and deliver an image viewing
solution for their entire enterprise," said Justin Dearborn, CEO at
Merge Healthcare. "Images are critical to clinical collaboration
and we're committed to delivering high-performance,
highly-scalable, and cost-effective IT solutions that deliver
productivity enhancements, cost reductions and key clinical data to
providers across the care continuum."
