(Booth 6233) EMC will bring a range of archiving technology and services to the 2008 RSNA meeting in Chicago.
EMC will demonstrate its Open Systems Archive Solution for Healthcare Organizations. Based on a service-oriented architecture (SOA) and deployed in a modular fashion, this offering aggregates content from clinical, operational, and financial applications into an open and scalable information repository, according to the Hopkinton, MA-based firm.
It provides a complementary architecture to a traditional PACS, allowing documents, patient records, prescriptions, invoices, and other unstructured content to be accessed via a secure, virtual, and federated repository. The package leverages medical image management software to facilitate a DICOM-compliant infrastructure that supports standards-based migration of images and infrastructure, EMC said.
Meta-data is captured from all content assets and collected into a virtual physical repository; caregivers can then quickly associate single or multiple orders, medical imaging, results, and billing content, according to the vendor.
In other developments, EMC will highlight its Information Risk Management Solutions for Protected Health Information package. This offering, based on industry standards and best practices for health information security management, is designed to help healthcare organizations follow the path that sensitive information takes as it is created, distributed, stored, copied, transformed, and accessed throughout its life cycle, EMC said.
In hardware news, EMC will showcase its Clariion CX4 storage system with flash drive technology. Based on a new architecture designed to be optimized for VMware and other virtual server environments, the midrange storage array supports solid-state drives (SSDs), EMC said.
EMC will also highlight Symmetrix DMX-4 with flash drive technology and EMC Disk Library 4000, which now features data deduplication, spin-down, and low-power disk drives to reduce power and cooling by up to 47%, according to the vendor. In addition, the company will discuss Documentum ECM 6.5, a new suite of enterprise-level document and content management system products.
