Franciscan Alliance has selected Merge Healthcare's iConnect Access to image-enable its EMR and provide access to radiology and cardiology images and information across its network of 13 hospitals in Indiana and Illinois.

iConnect Access provides image viewing capability and can be embedded into many third-party products, according to Chicago-based Merge. It is not FDA-cleared for diagnostic use on mobile devices.
