PACS accessories firm PACSGear has signed an agreement for Merge Healthcare to participate in PACSGear's Open Image Exchange, a cloud-based network designed to securely share medical images and information.
PACSGear will incorporate the application programming interface (API) from Merge's Honeycomb application to upload images for cloud-based sharing and storage.
Adding Merge Honeycomb to the network provides more options for sharing health information electronically, PACSGear said.
