SIIM: InSite One updates storage consolidation solutions

InSite One is presenting its InDex Release 6 as a foundation for the Enterprise Archive to attendees of the 2009 Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM) meeting this week in Charlotte, N.C.

The Wallingford, Conn.-based company said new feature sets include:
  • Offering storage consolidation through an enterprise archive which removes duplicated storage of medical data through standards-based indexing;
  • The capability to connect clinical data across applications and reconcile patient identifiers into a single, internal, patient-centric repository;
  • HL7-driven information management to facilitate local access to stored data across the enterprise; and
  • The capability to interface DICOM devices into cross enterprise document sharing (XDS) environments.

InSite One said it manages long-term storage requirements onsite or at its secure tier-4 data center.
