Merge Healthcare Incorporated (Nasdaq:MRGE), a leading provider of
innovative enterprise imaging, interoperability and clinical
systems that seek to advance healthcare, today announced that its
radiology solutions have been certified for Meaningful Use (MU),
broadening its commitment to radiology customers who participate in
the program as well as lead their healthcare environments toward
overall imaging interoperability. Merge PACS™, iConnect® Access and
Merge RIS™ are all now Office of the National Coordinator
Authorized Certification Body (ONC-ACB) certified under the 2014
criteria.
"From the very start of MU, Merge took a long-term view with the
program, enabling us to develop and further expand solutions that
meet the mandate so that our customers can continue to be
successful in their imaging businesses," said Justin Dearborn, CEO
at Merge Healthcare. "With the addition of imaging as a new menu
measure in the 2014 rule, we believe that further investing and
certifying our portfolio of imaging solutions will allow our
customers and their referring physicians to more easily succeed
with Stage 2 compliance. Qualifying this broader solution for MU is
a testament of Merge's ongoing dedication to standards and
leadership in radiology and interoperability."
Merge originally began its commitment to MU in 2011 by
transforming Merge RIS to be a complete, certified EHR as defined
by the program measures. Today, the following Merge solutions are
certified for MU, including:
- Merge RIS to store, manage and distribute patient radiology
information for streamlined administrative efficiencies that meets
MU requirements.
- iConnect Access for referring physician image review
capabilities from any browser-based device, enabling radiologists
to grow their referring physician base.
- Merge PACS to read, review, archive and share images and
reports from a single location in real time, improving interactions
with radiologists and referring physicians.
- Merge OrthoPACS™ to store, view, manipulate and share
orthopedic images from any browser-based device providing
orthopedic physicians a more efficient workflow.
- Merge Eye Care PACS™ for automatically importing images and
diagnostic reports through a web-based system, creating a
comprehensive patient record and helping ophthalmologists meet MU2
criteria.
- Merge LIS™ for automated lab processes to expand lab
capabilities and provide a central administration point, ultimately
strengthening customer base.
"Meaningful Use is a big part of our overarching strategy at
Triad Radiology. By leveraging Merge's certified technology, we
have not only achieved MU but are also able to support referring
physicians in their own quest to achieve MU," said Tom Smith, CIO
at Triad Radiology Associates. "It's about the ability to share
patient data in real time, enabling patients to receive better
care, faster than ever before. We wouldn't be at the forefront of
attestation and patient care efforts without Merge."
"Now, they can also build and implement interoperability and
enterprise imaging strategies for this next stage which focuses
more on health information exchange." continued Dearborn. "We are
proud to help our customers further become leaders in their
respective healthcare ecosystems."
Drummond Group's ONC-ACB certification program certifies that
EHRs meet the MU criteria for either eligible provider or hospital
technology. In turn, healthcare providers using the EHR systems of
certified vendors are qualified to receive federal stimulus monies
upon demonstrating meaningful use of the technology – a key
component of the federal government's push to improve clinical care
delivery through the adoption and effective use of EHRs by U.S.
healthcare providers.
