Telemis, Maidis sign OEM agreement, go live with HIS

Medical imaging company Telemis signed an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) agreement with Maidis for an international hospital information system (HIS). The companies' first collaborative project is an integrated global HIS for the Oasis Hospital in Al Ain, United Arab Emirates (UAE).

According to Telemis, of Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, the combined technology recently went live in the Oasis Hospital. The HIS integrates PACS, and allows Maidis users to view, diagnose, share and comment on all types of medical images and diagnostic results produced in the hospital and stored on a server network. Maidis is located in France and in the UAE.

In addition, the integrated application offers image distribution choices, such as CD/DVD burning, paper printing and web image distribution, said Telemis. The PACS worklist is hidden, according to the company.
