Momentum. You feel it when you’ve got it. And when it lags, you’re pushing harder to regain your stride.

Enterprise Imaging has a new vision for eye care: Utilizing a single platform to streamline image viewing, analysis and storage and linking ophthalmology with other ‘ologies across the healthcare system. That vision is now a clinically proven reality as one platform unites eye care with other imaging exams across a large, U.S.-based healthcare system. Ophthalmologists and optometrists praise the solution for proving its value in eye disease diagnostics, care planning and patient outcomes—and now other healthcare systems can take advantage of it too.

Cloud is the choice to support enterprise imaging. If it feels like healthcare cloud is everywhere, you’re right. And here’s what you need to know to do cloud right.
