Description
Enterprise Imaging Capabilities
We strive to help merged and acquired organizations solve their unique enterprise imaging challenges, such as the need to ensure visibility and access to all of a patient’s relevant medical images regardless of where they reside. Compass enables healthcare providers to easily implement and manage a scalable imaging workflow layer that enhances the interoperability between multiple PACS, VNA, and clinical IT environments to ensure they effectively communicate with each other. Compass also supports the adoption and implementation of cloud-based enterprise imaging workflow strategies that include image sharing, remote storage, and the training and implementation of AI/ML algorithms.
Benefits
The ability of Compass to act as a gateway to ensure that medical imaging studies are properly identified and associated with the correct patient, originating location and study description enables:
- Creation of site-specific workflows that depend upon the interoperability of otherwise incompatible modalities, systems and workflows that span technology domains.
- Automated distribution of DICOM and non-DICOM imaging studies and HL7 files to multiple reading and archiving locations.
- Improved radiology department productivity and clinical report accuracy by automatically including DICOM SR measurement data in the radiologists report
- Time of day, sub-specialty and location specific teleradiology workflow.
- Seamless communication between cloud based medical imaging workflows that are designed around DICOMweb™ technology and legacy DICOM based systems.
Enterprise scalability meets the needs of the largest integrated health systems.
Compass is built upon a modularly scalable architecture that can serve the high throughput and sophisticated workflow needs of the largest integrated healthcare networks. Capabilities include query spanning with filtering, HL7 message routing, non-DICOM file transport, support for all DICOM message types, load balancing, and DICOM Structured Report (SR) data extraction.
Imagine the impact on your workflow if you could
- Route, Replicate, Monitor, Schedule & Alter DICOM Store Jobs or HL7 messages
- Manage unlimited sources & destinations
- Identify and/or retrieve all exams for a given patient from multiple, disparate archives with a single request
- Facilitate the interconnection of incompatible devices using tag morphing filters
- Route or multiplex DICOM store jobs based on any DICOM tag
- Use HIPAA compliant, secure, encrypted communication
- Integrate events and actions with HL7 communications
- Drag-and-drop study import & route capability using “hot-folders”
- Parse DICOM Structured Reports and route DICOM data to integrated dictation and transcription systems
