Rush University Medical Center Selects Merge Cardiology PACS
January 07 2015 - 7:00AM
Merge Healthcare Incorporated (Nasdaq:MRGE), a leading provider of
clinical systems and innovations that seek to transform healthcare,
entered into an agreement with Rush University Medical Center, one
of the largest private academic medical centers in Illinois, to
provide Cardiology PACS.
Rush was actively seeking a cardiology solution that would
streamline its workflows, eliminate departmental silos of
information, and deliver structured reporting enabling greater
ability to mine data for research projects and benchmarking. With
Merge Cardio, a Best in KLAS solution in 2013, Rush cardiology will
be able to leverage a centralized, web-based system for report
generation and distribution. The structured data within Merge PACS
supports the organization's desire to leverage data for research
studies and benchmarking. In addition, Rush will be able to access
data from legacy systems in order to create a more complete patient
history.
"Cardiology as a field is embracing 'Big Data,' to help improve
quality outcomes, to enable informative research, and provide
clinical care that is both efficient and timely, said Dr. Kim Allan
Williams, Sr., FACC, FAHA, FASNC, and chief, Division of
Cardiology, at Rush University Medical Center. At Rush, we strive
to meet the 'triple aim' of better care, better outcomes, and lower
costs. Partnering with Merge will forge a mutually beneficial,
dynamic relationship as we embark upon this complex and critical
project," Williams said.
"Rush is a highly respected and innovative organization, and it
is an honor to support their efforts for improving their internal
systems to strengthen their research and improve provider access to
imaging reports," said Justin Dearborn, chief executive officer of
Merge Healthcare.
