Software development firm Compressus of Washington, DC, is showcasing its enterprise systems integration software products, including Medical Message Mediator (M3), Virtual Worklist, and Systems Management Dashboard (SMD), at RSNA 2006.
The applications, which are part of the vendor's MEDxConnect technology, provide connectivity and interoperability between diagnostic acquisition devices and related information systems.
The M3 product uses the communications protocols and semantics of each participating information system to control the flow of images, reports, messages, standard patient demographics, and other data for the diagnosis and treatment planning of a patient between independent and disparate systems, the company said. It uses DICOM, HL7, XML, SSL, TLS, and other standards to create a virtual integrated information system that adheres to the Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) technical framework and is HIPPA-compliant, according to Compressus.
The Virtual Worklist and M3 enable users to retrieve and store diagnostic images on DICOM archives, manage activities via a patient worklist generated from multiple PACS or network systems, and route images to participating physicians based upon any combination of modality, body part, or referring physician through user-created rules.
The SMD application monitors workflow to find inefficiencies or bottlenecks, and allows corrective action to be taken by system administrators. The enterprise-level network tool uses various alphanumeric and graphic tools to display workflow operations, the company said.
The MEDxConnect systems will be available for delivery to the U.S. and Canada this quarter, and outside North America in the second quarter of 2007, Compressus said.
