eFilm Archive™ provides users with cost-effective storage of patient
studies
Merge Healthcare (NASDAQ: MRGE), a health IT solutions provider, today
announced the addition of the eFilm Archive to its portfolio of
eCommerce diagnostic imaging solutions. This robust, easy-to-deploy
archive gives imaging centers, specialty clinics and rural hospitals an
economical way to increase their storage capacity for medical images and
enable efficient image routing.
“We were thrilled to see the addition of eFilm Archive to the eFilm
line,” says Steve Michaud, Management Information Systems Analyst for
Arizona Kidney Disease and Hypertension Center, LLC. “We’d been shopping
for an economical image management solution, and eFilm Archive made
perfect sense. As a seasoned eFilm user, the solution was intuitive and
easy to deploy. Equally as important, it was also within our budget.”
eFilm Archive is packaged as a complete solution, including all
software, server hardware, onsite installation and training, and one
full year of support. Because it uses the same hardware and software
configurations as Merge’s hosted RIS/PACS solutions, it also provides
customers with an affordable mechanism for adding applications like
Radiology Information Systems (RIS), disaster recovery and billing.
These add-ons create essential information for electronic health records
(EHRs) and help meet the future growth demands for an imaging business.
“As Mr. Michaud mentioned, our eFilm Workstation customers who currently
lack a centralized archive welcome this addition to the eFilm product
line,” states Nancy Koenig, President of Merge’s Fusion business unit.
“We built the solution based on their need for economical, complete and
easy-to-use archive functionality, and customers are already expressing
confidence that this solution will provide them with an immediate return
by helping them better manage their digital images.”
The new eFilm Archive joins Merge Healthcare’s existing eCommerce
solutions: eFilm Workstation, a widely used diagnostic viewer; and eFilm
RIS/PACS™, a cost-effective solution that brings scheduling, document
management and image storage to low-volume sites using eFilm Workstation
viewers. The eFilm user community is supported by programs such as the
eFilm AppExchange™, which allows users to trade customized eFilm
applications, and Authentic eFilm™ for license validity concerns. More
