HIMSS: Carestream to highlight cloud-based PACS, enterprise archive
Carestream Health (Booth 1348) is showcasing its newest cloud-based eHealth PACS and eHealth Portal Services, Carestream Clinical Data Archive and Carestream RIS at the Healthcare Information Management Systems Society (HIMSS) annual meeting to be held in Orlando, Fla. from Feb. 21 through Feb. 24.
eHealth PACS Service delivers PACS functionality for image review, storage and distribution and provides reading tools to remote radiologists. eHealth Portal Service enables healthcare providers that use the company’s eHealth Archive Service for disaster recovery/business continuity to allow access to that data by authorized clinicians through an internet connection. Healthcare facilities pay a per-study usage charge for these cloud-based services, explained Rochester, N.Y.-based Carestream.
Carestream Clinical Data Archive (CDA) is a virtualized, vendor-neutral archive that delivers a multi-tier repository for data stored using XDS, XDS-I, DICOM and HL7 standards as well as non-DICOM objects and allows sharing and consolidation of storage infrastructure throughout the enterprise. The archive offers an access point to clinical images and other clinical information including imaging exams, video clips, laboratory results, biopsy results and other forms of patient data. Access can be gained through a web browser or existing EMR/HIS systems. Toolsets equip the archive to manage multiple sites. Independent security mechanisms at various levels ensure data is accessed only by designated individuals, the company said.
Finally, Carestream is sharing that the new Carestream RIS platform meets the first phase of meaningful use (MU) requirements. It equips healthcare providers to adjust the capture and sharing of data to satisfy government regulations as well as emerging business needs. Carestream also is drafting an application for certification of its RIS as an EHR module that meets MU criteria, the company added. Carestream RIS performs collection and/or receipt of: patient demographics, vital signs, smoking status, immunization records, diseases, allergies and directives for patients over age 65. It also validates that patient medications were tracked by referring physicians.
