HIMSS: Carestream to expand cloud services

Carestream Health (Booth 2614) is expanding its Carestream Vue for Cloud Services with mobile imaging data access from its Vue Motion zero footprint viewer and higher levels of encryption and security through use of the Intel Xeon processor E7 family. These updates will be demonstrated at the annual Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) annual conference and exhibition, Feb. 20-24, in Las Vegas.

The Rochester, N.Y.-based company also is showing as a works-in-progress a cloud-based patient portal that will allow patients to access, view and share their own medical imaging data with physicians, specialists and other healthcare facilities. When available, this patient portal can integrate with a facility’s EHR/EMR.

Carestream’s Vue portfolio of cloud services enables radiologists and clinicians to access patient data, imaging exams and radiology reports from any location, according to Carestream. A portal for data access by referring physicians will be available by the end of March 2012.
