St. Vincent Hospital picks Merge for enterprise-wide cardiac imaging

St. Vincent Hospital, a member of the Hospital Sisters Health System in Green Bay, Wis., will implement Merge Healthcare’s  cardiology suite to capture, manage and display cardiac images, as well as hemodynamics and ECG data, across its enterprise.

The Merge Cardiology suite includes Merge Cardio, which integrates patient information from different sources into a centralized web-based system.

Also included in the suite are Merge Hemo, a catheterization laboratory knowledge tool for data collection, analysis and reporting; iConnect Access, a zero-download DICOM image and XDS viewer; and iConnect Share, an Internet-based gateway for image sharing.

The new technology shows early potential to make a significant impact on imaging workflows and patient care. 

Richard Heller III, MD, RSNA board member and senior VP of policy at Radiology Partners, offers an overview of policies in Congress that are directly impacting imaging.
 

The two companies aim to improve patient access to high-quality MRI scans by combining their artificial intelligence capabilities.
