Intelerad signs partnership with OneDX

Denver, Colorado and Montreal, Canada – May 16, 2014 – Intelerad Medical Systems™, a leader in medical imaging PACS, RIS and workflow solutions, today announced a partnership that allows it to provide its global customer base with the OneDX Patient CD Upload solution.
 
Designed to overcome the challenges related to importing foreign exams, the solution provides users with an intuitive interface that enables them to quickly upload patient images from a compact disc, modify DICOM headers and then transfer the images to IntelePACS®. This provides significant efficiency gains while ensuring that imported studies are properly merged with existing patient records and made readily available to physicians.
 
“At Intelerad, we are always looking for ways to improve the user experience,” said Chris Henri, Chief Technology Officer, Intelerad. “By including the OneDX solution in our portfolio, we’re able to provide the user with a streamlined way to import and localize foreign exams that will help them operate more efficiently. This is particularly true for large practices which typically import images from dozens of discs per day and often have staff dedicated to the task.”
 
The OneDX solution will be available to IntelePACS customers in June 2014.
