The portal platform provided by Merge, called Cedara WebAccess, provides access to radiology results and images from anywhere within a health information exchange (HIE), without opening separate applications or copying data. The images and information are displayed within a “zero-client” HIE portal that is intuitive and requires no additional hardware or bandwidth.

“We are thrilled to work with Orion Health to bring more comprehensive diagnostic data into their solutions,” said Antonia Wells, president of Merge’s original equipment manufacturer (OEM) business. “This partnership is a further affirmation of the value in our standards-based integration approach, multisource data consolidation and zero-footprint viewing technology. We believe it will provide Orion Health customers like hospitals and HIEs with a quick return on investment.”

“An integrated medical record helps healthcare organizations improve the quality of care by bringing more complete information into medical decision making at the point of care,” said Paul Viskovich, president of Orion Health North America. “Our customers find that images are a particular challenge, and have been asking us for imaging integration. Merge’s extensive experience in this arena makes them the best partner to help us deliver this to our customers.”
