Agfa, Orion Health ink global partnership
Agfa HealthCare and Orion Health have formed a strategic relationship to image-enable EHRs and HIEs and for regional-enabled Hospital Information Systems/Clinical Information Systems/Electronic Patient Records (HIS/CIS/EPR).
Agfa said it will provide Orion's EHR/HIE technology as part of its enterprise imaging system. Orion will offer Agfa's Imaging Clinical Information Services (ICIS) platform, primarily consisting of Impax Data Center and the Xero web-based image viewer.
Images from Agfa's ICIS platform can be integrated into a shared single view of the patient via Orion Health Clinical Portal, according to the Mortsel, Belgium-based company. Multi-disciplinary imaging data will be available with other patient data and documents drawn from multiple systems across a hospital network or health region.
Agfa and Orion will initially concentrate their joint offering on selected geographies in developed health markets. In the U.S. and Canada, the focus will be on adding the clinical depth into the ICIS platform, while in France, Belgium and the U.K., the focus will be on adding regional collaboration capabilities into the Orbis HIS/CIS/EPR and the IT imaging systems.
