Fuji Synapse RIS earns modular EHR certification for MU

Synapse RIS Version 6.1 from Fujifilm Medical Systems has received modular EHR certification for meaningful use for radiology.

Products receiving modular EHR certification, such as the latest version of Synapse RIS, meet multiple certification criteria as set up by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT. Complete EHR certification requires meeting all 33 ONC criteria, but modular certification for the Synapse RIS is a step towards complete certification, according to Stamford, Conn.-based Fujifilm Medical Systems.

Features in the latest version of the RIS include an enhanced dashboard, Synapse Financials and a feature that will alert the user to dose management concerns for the patient.
