Merge Healthcare Incorporated (Nasdaq:MRGE), a leading provider of
clinical systems and innovations that seek to transform healthcare,
today announced that Center for Diagnostic Imaging (CDI), a
national network of high-quality, cost-effective, outpatient
medical imaging and related service providers, has extended their
Merge partnership to include iConnect Network. Once live, this
web-based, advanced interoperability platform will enable clinical
providers to securely share radiology reports with links to
relevant medical images and other patient information.
"Our strategy is simple. We want to focus on quality patient
care by ensuring ease of access to imaging information for treating
clinicians," said Linda Bagley, Senior Vice President of Business
Process and Technology at CDI. "We're collaborating with Merge to
ultimately leverage iConnect Network's single connection so our
clinical customers will be able to easily exchange critical patient
data and results electronically."
"In the future, we hope to provide services for online ordering
and automated insurance pre-certifications using Clinical Decision
Support (CDS)," continued Bagley. "We're pleased to work with Merge
on such a powerful technology service that will ultimately enable
CDI-affiliated centers to provide customers with a complete package
when it comes to integrating imaging services into patient
care."
"We value our longstanding partnership with CDI and are thrilled
to support their goals for continuity of care," said Justin
Dearborn, CEO of Merge. "CDI's deep focus on their referring
clinician base enables our partnership to drive electronic
standardization of image ordering. The advanced imaging and
interoperability network Merge is creating will benefit clinicians
and the communities they serve. Through our iConnect Network, we'll
support care models and regulatory initiatives, such as value-based
care and Meaningful Use Stage 2, as well as provide image-enabled
reporting, allowing for better communication and performance
amongst clinicians and hospitals to enhance the patient care
experience."
