Rochester RHIO upgrades its Image Exchange program

The Rochester Regional Health Information Organization (RHIO) is upgrading its Image Exchange to allow healthcare providers improved access to diagnostic images.

The New York RHIO will benefit from new features, such as the capability for access to emergent images before a radiologist has issued a report; image display with an onboard “zero footprint” viewer that lets physicians analyze details and make side-by-side comparisons; and faster image retrieval.

“It lets specialists and primary care doctors see not just radiology reports but the images on which those reports are based,” explained Ted Kremer, executive director of the Rochester RHIO.
