Software developer ETIAM plans to introduce a turnkey system for communicating and managing images beyond the enterprise at next week's Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) meeting in Las Vegas.
ETIAM-Connect automatically identifies exam type, directs information to the appropriate department, enables viewing any image format, and reconciles patient data with in-house identifiers. Users of the software can scan patient films and copy CDs into ETIAM-Connect; electronic files are transferred securely and efficiently using technology that bypasses the IT cloud, where privacy can be easily compromised, according to the firm.
ETIAM-Connect includes a universal DICOM viewer to display images from a full range of vendors. It also supports non-DICOM studies stored in formats developed by former PACS vendors Amicas and iSite.
