Medical equipment manufacturer Mindray Medical International used this week's American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) meeting in Denver to announce that it is underwriting a grant for point-of-care ultrasound to the Emergency Medical Foundation (EMF) of Dallas.
The grant is intended to support research to determine if point-of-care ultrasound exams performed by emergency physicians or midlevel healthcare practitioners improve patient outcomes, reduce costs, and eliminate the need for additional imaging studies. The EMF will develop the grant topic in collaboration with Dr. Vicki Noble, chair of the ultrasound section for ACEP and an emergency physician at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, according to Mindray.
Mindray Medical also announced that it has partnered with Telexy Healthcare of Port Coquitlam, British Columbia, to streamline reporting workflow at the bedside. Telexy's Q-path workflow manager uses DICOM and HL7 to communicate with a PACS, an electronic medical record, an ultrasound order entry system, and admit/discharge/transfer (ADT) software.
Q-path can be hosted on-premise or on a cloud server, and Telexy's Q-path Cloud makes it easy and practical to provide remote training, peer review, and consultation anywhere in the world, according to Mindray.
