Platform ApplicationsMedCommons On Demand If you just need to do a few DICOM transactions every now and then, you may utilize our MedCommons on Demand service to instantly share medical information.
MedCommons On Demand (MOD) is a public Web site and service built on the MedCommons platform that can transfer diagnostic imaging (DICOM), scanned documents (PDF) and standard digital health records (CCR, CCD) from and to anyone anywhere as a simple and secure on-line transaction. Until now, sharing full quality radiology required either the express shipment of a CD or the purchase and installation of a gateway computer. MOD uses cloud computing to make imaging-complete health records accessible in a Web browser or iPhone.
Surgeons use MedCommons On Demand to view their patient's imaging on the Web or on their personal workstation. Radiologists use the system to expedite and improve teleradiology or 3D processing services. MedCommons On Demand automatically creates a standard, private, image-enabled, collaborative health record called a HealthURL, from the DICOM header information. Standard PDF and XML format health records are linked together and easily shared. More information on MedCommons On Demand is available here. PACS in the CloudExpand the reach and impact of your existing medical systems using the MedCommons Platform. Picture Archiving and Communications Systems (PACS) are the essential, high- speed network and database systems that connect images and reports among scanners, workstations, storage, workflow and electronic health records (EHR) systems. Advances in cloud computing speed and reliability increasingly make it possible to move the PACS to highly secure and efficient commodity infrastructure. Hospitals, imaging centers, specialty practices and even radiologists now have the opportunity to choose their preferred workstations and integrate health records across multiple institutions while reducing the costs of radiology-specific on-site technology and support.A PACS in the Cloud uses low cost local appliances to enable larger and multi-site institutions and their systems integrators to build a storage solution that is cost-effective and not locked-in to one clinical application vendors. Effortlessly connect to the NHIN The National Health Information Network (NHIN) is the federally mandated communications protocol for hospitals and other institutions that hold health records on behalf of patients. Although most electronic health records (EHR) vendors are expected to provide NHIN functionality, the management of diagnostic imaging and scanned documents by doctors, access to health records by patients and patient-focused Web services are most efficiently managed by MedCommons. Our built in NHIN Connector uses standard interfaces to one or multiple EHR and PACS in conjunction with standard single sign-on and security protocols to provide flexible and robust communications for better patient care, permitting practices of all sizes to access health records from participating hospitals and labs
Sports MedicineMobile connectivity is essential for episodes of care that develop rapidly and "on the road". The A MedCommons solution allows all of the athlete's documents, including radiology imaging, to be available from a modern smartphone browser. The MedCommons iPhone appallows trainers and physicians to document injuries or therapy with photos and videos that are sent directly to the athlete's health record. Sharing these with the team physician and consultants anywhere in the world is available in seconds, and backed up with VIP-level security.Secure International Access to Medical RecordsThe typical assumptions of role-based access security breaks down when patients travel abroad or when the sponsor of a health record archive is an insurance company or employer that may not have the right to view or control access to the clinical health record.To improve service, eliminate duplicate imaging and increase competition among health care providers, aninsurance benefits administratorcan offer or sponsor HealthURL accounts for their members. The patient-centered Web architecture of MedCommons makes it very easy to integrate patient-controlled health records with existing databases and customer service staff. Cloud technology makes offering MedCommons accounts across the world as simple as requesting a new account for a patient and adding a monthly charge to the patient's bill. Flexible Web and smart-phone integration with medical practices and insuranceclerks often mean that the patient doesn't have to do anything on the Web themselves unless they actually want to see or manage their records directly. Once the patient leaves the hospital or practice access to their on-line medical records ends. |
