Wis.-based Community Health Network taps Merge for archive, image sharing

Community Health Network (CHN), a healthcare system based in east-central Wisconsin, has selected Merge Healthcare’s iConnect VNA and iConnect Access to provide real-time access to images and patient information across its network.

iConnect Access is a zero-download DICOM image and XDS server, and iConnect VNA is Merge’s vendor neutral archive.

CHN has also selected Merge Honeycomb to provide cloud-based image storage, according to Chicago-based Merge.
