November 19 2015 - 10:00AM
Merge Healthcare, an IBM Company (NYSE:IBM) and a leading provider
of clinical systems and innovations that seek to transform
healthcare, entered into an agreement with UC San Diego Health for
Merge’s iConnect® Access and iConnect® Enterprise Archive. UC San
Diego Health is a tertiary, multidisciplinary health system
integrating research, teaching and clinical care at locations in
Hillcrest and La Jolla, California.
UC San Diego Health sought a technology solution that would
simplify medical imaging workflow and enable clinicians to easily
follow the path of their patients. “Collaborating with Merge
Healthcare is a big step towards further ensuring that our
clinicians have access to medical imaging information when they
need it,” said Tom Hamelin, senior director responsible for
Imaging Informatics at UC San Diego Health. “Connecting our
clinicians to a complete image management option allows them to
access current and historical images at the point of care and gives
them the flexibility to view images using a standard internet
browser.”
“We are honored to work with UC San Diego Health, San Diego’s
only academic health system and a leading destination for
individuals requiring complex, multidisciplinary care,” said Justin
Dearborn, chief executive officer of Merge Healthcare.
