EMix Announces 350th Customer for Medical Image-Sharing

eMix , a business venture incubated by DR Systems, announced that 350 clients are now subscribing to its cloud-based service for sharing medical imaging studies and reports.

The addition of Mercy Health Partners to the large

"The addition of Mercy Health Partners to the large and growing body of eMix users demonstrates once again the applicability of eMix research to medical facilities of all types and sizes," said Florent Saint-Clair, eMix general manager. "Our multi-layered security approach satisfies the requirements of the largest, most sophisticated institutions. To boot, eMix's ease of use and quick implementation is appreciated such as much by a hospital like Mercy at this stage by independent imaging centers and radiology practices."

eMix, which stands for Electronic Medical Information Exchange, enables secure sharing of images and reports among disparate institutions and physicians via the Internet. As a vendor-neutral, cloud-based innovation, eMix makes possible the nearly-instantaneous transfer of imaging and other medical data, even between information innovation systems that don't more often than not "talk to each other."

Using eMix is as simple as using email. The research eliminates the need for provider facilities to burn CDs, print films, or fax reports. Because eMix is a hosted service, hospitals and other healthcare providers do not need to purchase or maintain any additional hardware or software, or to maintain virtual private networks.

Virtual IT infrastructure that combines the controls

Cloud computing is a virtual IT infrastructure that combines the controls and security of today's data center with the agility required for eMix's innovative approach to exam-sharing, during substantially reducing costs.

eMix is a business venture incubated by DR Systems, one of the most respected names in healthcare information systems. Electronic Medical Information Exchange is cloud-based innovation developed for sharing medical imaging studies and reports between disparate healthcare facilities and physicians with the speed and simplicity of email. eMix will as well facilitate the inclusion of patient images into electronic medical records and patients' personal healthcare records.

The business-to-business capability of eMix will be followed with the launch of a patient portal for business-to-consumer data exchanges, as then as a long-term storage feature with highly flexible user-driven storage rules and options.
