Merge Receives Healthcare Informatics' Most Interesting Vendor Honor and Top 100 Ranking
May 29 2014 - 7:00AM
Merge Healthcare Incorporated (Nasdaq:MRGE), a leading provider of
innovative enterprise imaging, interoperability and clinical
systems that seek to advance healthcare, today announced that it
has been honored as one of Healthcare Informatics' (HCI) Most
Interesting Vendors of 2014. In addition, Merge has also been
ranked on the 2014 HCI 100 listing of top performing vendors for
the sixth consecutive year.
"Both of these acknowledgements are true testaments of our
dedication in developing enterprise imaging and advanced
interoperability strategies for the healthcare community – no
matter the challenges from a policy or legislative standpoint,"
said Justin Dearborn, CEO at Merge Healthcare. "The changing
healthcare landscape provides opportunities for vendors to stand
out when they have a solution that works. This recognizes our
industry leadership in imaging informatics and our strategic
imaging solutions that advance healthcare and ultimately enhance
the patient care experience across the continuum of care."
Merge remained focused throughout the year, developing and
launching its new advanced interoperability platform, iConnect®
Network, an advanced imaging network that allows hospitals,
providers and imaging centers to exchange imaging information
securely and electronically. This network enables healthcare
organizations to reduce costs, increase referrals and meet
Meaningful Use Stage 2 requirements for the exchange of images and
reports with community physicians, as well as provides better
access to imaging to enhance patient care.
Additional factors driving success include:
- Merge Cardio™ named 2013 "Best in KLAS" in the Cardiology
Software Category and Merge Hemo™ ranked "Category Leader" for
Cardiology Hemodynamics for the third consecutive year*; and
- Certification completion of Meaningful Use Stage 2 for all
applicable solutions, enabling customers to meet image exchange
requirements and receive additional government reimbursement.
- Upcoming launch of iConnect® Retinal Screening, an end-to-end
retinal screening solution that will allow providers to quickly
identify and diagnose patients with diabetic retinal disease,
leading to reduced costs and enhanced patient care.
HCI chooses the Most Interesting Vendors from their annual HCI
100 listing, based on their current trajectories and market
positions compared to the current healthcare trends. Annual HCI 100
rankings are determined through surveys of healthcare vendors for
total revenue earned during the previous year. Total revenue is
solely derived from the sale of healthcare IT products and services
to healthcare providers and analyzed through Porter Research and ST
Advisors, LLC.
