Medical image sharing provider LifeImage has received a grant to add its technology to the Massachusetts Health Information Highway (Mass HIway), the state's health information exchange (HIE).
The Massachusetts Technology Collaborative and its Massachusetts eHealth Institute awarded the grant to fund a project designed by LifeImage, Boston Children's Hospital, and Atrius Health. The project is designed to demonstrate that the communication of imaging exams over the Mass HIway during trauma patient transfers will improve patient care and reduce duplicate exams.
When fully developed, the HIway will link the state's healthcare community, including residents, providers, public health officials, and other participants.
