Southern Illinois Healthcare, will implement Merge Healthcare’s cardiology suite across its system of six hospitals and healthcare clinics.

The project will help the organization meet its goal to deliver an EHR that includes images, according to Chicago-based Merge.

Southern Illinois Healthcare will implement Merge Cardio, an enterprise-level image and information system that manages digital images and clinical tools such as web-based physician reporting; Merge Hemo, a catheterization laboratory knowledge tool that integrates functionality for data collection, analysis and reporting; and Merge iConnect VNA, a vendor-neutral archive that consolidates images from disparate PACS, specialties and sites for a patient view that allows physicians to access current and historical images at the point of care.
