ICIS Platform Designed to Enhance the Electronic Medical Record

An innovative imaging clinical information system (ICIS) has been developed for enterprise imaging workflow.

Agfa HealthCare (Mortsel, Belgium) will showcase solutions that create and consolidate patient medical records while facilitating clinical collaboration at the Health Information Management Systems Society (HIMSS) 2012 meeting in February. All of the sophisticated information technology (IT) systems to be showcased at the Agfa HealthCare exhibit in Las Vegas (NV, USA), are devised to help healthcare organizations as a whole, and specifically chief information officers (CIOs) and chief medical information officers (CMIOs) with their need to extend the electronic medical record (EMR) to include support for medical images and related information.

The ICIS is a new class of enterprise image-management system that provides a workflow-centric platform to make imaging data readily available to physicians across the enterprise. ICIS delivers the four mainstays of Agfa HealthCare’s enterprise clinical imaging strategy: capture, store, exchange, and access. To advance the resource benefits of imaging in the EHR, a comprehensive services platform is required. Agfa HealthCare’s innovative ICIS platform is designed to enable state-of-the-art clinical and fiscal return of investiment (ROI) for imaging information by incorporating all four pillars to provide healthcare organizations with the tools they need to realize an innovative enterprise-wide imaging workflow and intelligence strategy.

“As the model for healthcare delivery is changing, providing physicians with point-of-care access to the complete patient record, and improving communication between care providers is now more important than ever,” said Michael Green, president and CEO, Americas Region, Agfa HealthCare. “ICIS is as important as an organization’s CIS in developing the EHR. With ICIS and Agfa HealthCare’s consultative approach, we can assist healthcare networks in developing their long-term planning for providing imaging data throughout their enterprise.”
