Healthcare Providers Increasingly Adopt Enterprise Imaging Workflow Solutions

The proliferation of clinical IT systems is leading to a dramatic rise in the market for enterprise medical imaging workflow solutions for healthcare providers.

Healthcare providers need to rationalize their increasingly complex imaging Internet Technology (IT) systems, and regain control and oversight of the systems. Many healthcare providers are reshaping the scope and goals of their enterprise imaging strategies.

One enterprise medical imaging workflow solutions provider, Laurel Bridge Software (Newark, DE, USA), has experienced dramatic growth during the past year, 2015. Part of this growth has been due to consolidation between healthcare providers, which creates larger and increasingly complex healthcare IT systems that need to be interoperable. Additional challenges include cost reduction, efficiency, and performance. Leading healthcare providers are working to build a comprehensive enterprise imaging strategy, and ease access and sharing of medical information with the aim of automating enterprise imaging workflow mechanisms, using a strategic cross-functional approach.

Mark Blair, Laurel Bridge Software president, said, "We are seeing an increasing number of large health systems looking to solve numerous complex, interrelated image sharing and distribution problems that have resulted from a recent merger or acquisition. These organizations, often led by cross-functional IT teams, want easily implemented, proven IT solutions that provide flexibility and control over clinical imaging workflow challenges that typically span non-radiology clinical departments and multiple facilities. This is a dramatic shift from the radiology-centric workflow requirements of the past."
