Logicalis adds Leading Enterprise-wide Healthcare
Diagnostic Solution to Healthcare Business Practice
Bloomfield Hills, MI – December 3, 2008 –
Logicalis, an international provider of high-performance
technology, has announced a strategic relationship with Compressus,
a medical software company, to provide the expertise and technology
necessary to support the rapid and successful deployment of
Compressus’ award winning imaging management and routing software.
In today’s healthcare environment increasing patient safety,
efficiently engaging specialists and reducing enterprise costs is
not a choice but a requirement. The combination of Compressus’
MEDxConnect™ interoperability software and Logicalis’
infrastructure expertise delivers an environment where healthcare
professionals can index, integrate and route relevant patient
medical information to other affiliated healthcare professionals in
real-time. Through this relationship, the two companies will
provide a consultative resource and a software platform to support
these requirements. Healthcare organization customers will have a
rapid and assured infrastructure specification and deployment
through Logicalis when acquiring Compressus' software.
Compressus has many healthcare customer installations for its
MEDxConnect technology, which provides affordable, seamless
connectivity and interoperability between diagnostic acquisition
devices, Healthcare Information Systems (HIS), Radiology
Information Systems (RIS), Picture Archiving and Communication
Systems (PACS), and their related information systems.
Logicalis has over 6,500 customers including many of the world's
leading healthcare organizations and specializes in the design,
deployment, management, and support of high performance IT
environments.
“Through this relationship with Compressus, we will be able to help
healthcare IT organizations realize the promised benefits of their
imaging, connectivity and patient information management
platforms,” said Karen Burton, Healthcare Business Development
Manager, Logicalis. “Logicalis has both the healthcare industry
experience and the knowledge of technology infrastructure to create
a successful outcome for our customers.”
John Paumen, Director, Business Partners for Compressus said:
“Working with Logicalis gives us an ability to deliver
MEDxConnect’s core benefits of integration and data sharing to
healthcare enterprises plagued by a lack of connectivity and
interoperability between disparate islands of HIS, RIS and PACS
systems. We look forward to working with Logicalis’ dedicated,
highly trained professionals who provide significant international
reach and resources.”
