Salt Lake City, Utah-based Intermountain Healthcare, the largest provider in the Intermountain West, is adopting an enterprise viewing solution from Calgary Scientific and Siemens Healthcare.
The goal is make images easily accessible to over 10,000 practitioners, external referring physicians and other occasional users. With an IT environment that included multiple vendor archives, combined with different viewers, it was difficult to access and share images across the dispersed organization. After much research, Intermountain chose ResolutionMD as the right enterprise viewing solution to connect their current archives and provide all clinicians fast, real-time access to patient images through one consistent and easy-to-use interface.
According to the manufacturers, ResolutionMD was successfully integrated with the proprietary Intermountain EMR, as well as 9 data archive instances comprised of 7 PACS and 2 VNAs from a number of different vendors. To date, a variety of clinicians have been granted new access to important functionality including multi-user collaboration, 3D rendering and mobile access with diagnostic capability. When full rollout is completed, Intermountain will have one integrated enterprise viewer that leverages their current architecture and creates a virtual database system that eliminates the need to copy or move data across the archives.
