PACSGear unveils initiative to integrate images to the EHR

PACSGear has launched an expanded strategy to combine medical images from all departments with EHRs, as part of its PACS 2.0 initiative.

In the past year, Pleasanton, Calif.-based PACSGear said it has has integrated more than 500,000 medical studies outside of radiology, and can now deliver integrated technologies that capture, view and share medical images and results across the enterprise.

“With the high-end video capture products from last year’s acquisition of assets from NAI Tech Products, we are ready to acquire medical images from all departments, whether they are digital camera photos from dermatology, endoscopic images from surgery or video from speech pathology,” said Eli Rapaich, PACSGear’s CEO. "In most hospitals, more than 20 departments produce medical images, but these images are typically not available to the enterprise.”

He added that PACS 2.0 builds on its customers’ existing PACS infrastructure and combines it with the EHR.

PACSGear will be introducing its PACS 2.0 strategy to its customers immediately.
