PACS vendor ScImage has entered into an agreement with NextGen Healthcare, a wholly owned subsidiary of Quality Systems, to integrate its Picom365 Enterprise PACS into NextGen's Ambulatory EHR (electronic health record) software.
The expanded integration supports an image-enabled EHR, allowing physicians to complete the entire clinical viewing and reporting workflow without ever leaving the EHR, the firms said. NextGen Healthcare offers a multispecialty portfolio of specialty-specific clinical content across more than 25 specialties that encompasses traditional cardiology and radiology PACS, and expands to additional subspecialties such as obstetrics, orthopedics, mammography, and dental.
ScImage's Picom365 architecture can accommodate all imaging specialties, providing image review, reporting, and delivery, all within a common framework. In addition, it can incorporate medical images and final reports from both DICOM and non-DICOM format, thereby creating a single centralized point for access to all procedures performed on a patient, ScImage added.
