Merge Healthcare (Chicago, IL, USA) has announced a strategic partnership with NextGen Healthcare (Horsham, PA, USA). The partnership was announced on December 2, 2014, and is intended to improve the image ordering process for imaging centers and hospitals, and their relations to their providers.

The partnership between the two interoperability vendors will enable customer of the NextGen Share and Merge iConnect Network platforms to send imaging orders, retrieve imaging reports, and streamline their workflow. In addition, successful transmission of orders will be simplified, and patients will be able to follow up on their own appointments. Improved interoperability within the Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems of healthcare institutions will facilitate care coordination, increase usability, reduce costs, and manage referrals more efficiently.

According to Justin Dearborn, CEO of Merge, “Being able to transport orders, not just reports, is a significant advancement in healthcare information technology. Our vendor-neutral capabilities enable us to partner with industry leading EHR providers to offer a comprehensive, enterprise-wide imaging strategy that improves workflow, and physician satisfaction, while ultimately enhancing patient care.”
