InSite One, Merge expand partnership

InSite One, a provider of medical data archiving, storage and disaster recovery solutions, has expanded its contract with Merge Healthcare to provide a viewing solution for its InDex archiving services.

Using InSite’s InDex Web, with integrated Cedara WebAccess technology from Merge, physicians are able to obtain patient information via a Web browser at the point-of-care through laptops, tablets and smart phones, such as Apple iPhone and Blackberry Bold, according to the companies.

“We have shown our combined solution to several HIE [health information exchange] organizations and enterprise clients, and our first implementation is already underway,” said Jim Champagne, president of the Wallingford, Conn.-based InSite One.

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