Solution Provider Offers Vendor-Neutral Enterprise Image
Management Archive (EIMA) Solution: The Cure for Healthcare's Image
Storage Deficit Syndrome
Who: Logicalis, Inc.,
an international provider of integrated information and
communications technology (ICT) solutions and services based in
Bloomfield Hills, MI, will exhibit at HIMSS 2010.
Where: HIMSS Booth
#7467
When: March 1st
through 4th, 2010
WHAT: Logicalis’
theme at HIMSS is “Getting To Meaningful Use – Faster,
Smarter.” At HIMSS, Logicalis healthcare solution team will
be on hand to help healthcare IT managers get a carrot and avoid
the stick. The carrot is represented by billions of dollars in
stimulus funds for hospitals and other healthcare organizations
that achieve meaningful use of electronic
health record (EHR) technology starting in 2011 under the 2009
American Recovery & Reinvestment Act (ARRA). The stick is a
penalty for noncompliance, resulting in reductions to Medicaid and
Medicare reimbursements starting in 2015. Managing data has
been seen as one of the key obstacles to EHR success, but at HIMSS,
Logicalis and its partners will be ready to explain the Enterprise Image Management Archive (EIMA)
solution that will liberate hospitals from the constricting
cycle of PACS data migrations and enable the sharing of images
between hospitals and clinics regardless of their internal
systems.
- Having a strategic plan for managing
image data that allows healthcare organizations to image-enable
their EHR is not only key to “meaningful use,” but also critical to
reducing the cost to the healthcare system. To learn more
about preparing for an Enterprise Image Management Archive and
getting to meaningful use of EHR, start by downloading Logicalis’
white paper and best practice considerations and by listening to a
