Merge Healthcare Inc announced that St. Joseph’s Imaging of Syracuse, NY, has selected Merge’s Outpatient Radiology Suite consisting of Merge’s radiology information system, picture achieving communication solution, document management, referring physician engagement, and medical image sharing solution.

After initially considering replacing only the PACS, the staff at St. Joseph’s decided to go with a more integrated system. St. Joseph’s will use Merge RIS and PACS to manage daily operations and reduce duplicate data entry and errors. iConnect will give referring physicians the option to place orders and access reports and images online.
