Information technology vendor HP of Palo Alto, CA, will showcase its HP Medical Archiving Solution and the HP Forms Automation System 1.2 at the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) conference in Dallas next week.
Designed for radiology practices within diagnostic imaging centers, clinics, and hospitals, the HP Medical Archiving Solution product provides long-term storage of patient studies and can scale, without downtime, to greater than 2 petabytes, according to the company.
The HP Medical Archiving Solution is expected to be commercially available later this month in North America and Europe. Deployment racks are factory-built configurations that support starter configurations of 5, 10, and 20 terabytes of compressed and protected data. The product, consisting of hardware, software, and services, can be implemented to align with the physical facilities within a healthcare organization, and is expected to be sold for 2-4¢ per megabyte, the company said.
The HP Forms Automation System (FAS) 1.2 is a digital pen and paper technology. The product allows healthcare professionals to print forms on demand and collect patient data using standard paper and an HP digital pen, which automatically transmits medical records to a central electronic medical record (EMR) system, according to HP.
FAS 1.2 updates include the new HP Handwriting Recognition Engine; better connectivity to EMR systems with customized XML output schemes; and faster form design and deployment, allowing field-attributes import and automated forms printing.
The HP FAS 1.2 is expected to be available later this month.
