Carestream Health will present a number of new products at next month's Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM) annual meeting in Washington, DC.
Vue Motion is a zero-footprint Web-based enterprise viewer for imaging data and patient information. A PACS-agnostic application, Vue Motion can be integrated with other vendors' PACS, DICOM archives, or data repositories that are compliant with the Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) Cross-Enterprise Document Sharing (XDS) standard, Carestream said.
The vendor said that Vue Motion support for mobile devices such as Apple's iPad and tablet PCs is currently pending U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance.
In other SIIM news, Carestream will present Vue, the new name for its comprehensive IT platform, including radiology, cardiology, enterprise workflow, vendor-neutral archiving, and cloud-based services.
The company will also unwrap Vue RIS, a turnkey RIS for imaging centers in the U.S. Vue RIS features embedded speech recognition and critical results reporting, as well as centralized patient scheduling and management reports that track patient referrals. Other capabilities include specialized auditing and tracking functions for mammography exams, and a native American College of Radiology (ACR) peer review feature that tracks reviews of an original diagnosis by a second radiologist, Carestream said.
Carestream noted that Vue RIS collects and/or tracks receipt of data that helps meet the first phase of the U.S. government's meaningful use requirements, including structured patient demographics, vital signs, smoking status, immunization records, diseases, allergies, and the provision of clinical decision support. It also provides a standards-based electronic exchange of key clinical information, the vendor said.
Carestream will also be directing attention to its Vue eHealth cloud-based RIS/PACS and vendor-neutral archiving services. The firm recently received a seven-year, multimillion dollar order for its cloud-based RIS/PACS and archiving services from Winthrop-University Hospital in Mineola, NY.
