Minnesota children?s hospital chooses Medicalis for CDS

Minnesota Children's Hospital has selected Medicalis, a provider of clinical decision support (CDS) solutions, to enhance and enable its diagnostic imaging ordering process. 

The Kitchener, Ontario-based Medicalis said its network applies evidence-based clinical guidelines to physician orders and facilitates real-time access to their local radiologists.

Minnesota Children's, a non-for-profit healthcare system with 332 beds at two hospital campuses in St. Paul and Minneapolis, performs 120,000 radiology procedures annually.

The newly cleared offering, AutoChamber, was designed with opportunistic screening in mind. It can evaluate many different kinds of CT images, including those originally gathered to screen patients for lung cancer.
