Medicom automates manual processes for locating and accessing prior clinical information. Healthcare providers rely on Medicom to reduce administrative overhead and improve physician satisfaction.
Establishing Connectivity is Expensive
The Problem
Clinics spend over $5,000 for skilled technical staff to establish HL7 interfaces every time they want to connect with outside facilities
A VPN connection is required in most cases and must be configured individually to establish the connections
Our Solution
Whenever a new interface needs to be established, Medicom will upload a sample HL7 ORM and ORU from the outside facility to our interface builder.
HL7 messages are easily mapped using a point and click interface
Each clinic will only need a single mapping for all outside facilities
Medicom does not require facilities to establish VPN connections
Manual and labor-intensive to burn or ingest CDs; large healthcare groups burn over 750 discs per month
Reports are often printed to accompany a disc
Situations arise where discs are not received in time, or are not available for emergencies
Uploading from a disc to PACS can take up to a full business day, delaying a practitioners’ access to images
Our Solution: ImageX
Techs and providers can easily send images and reports to an outside provider using a send destination, including PACS
Automation features to fetch and retrieve relevant priors from other providers for upcoming appointments, and eliminates time reconciling between faxed reports and electronically sent images
Images and reports can be queried instantly, or pushed from outside providers in the event of an emergency
Studies sent through VPN or cloud sharing options may be missing files
Large healthcare groups need multiple VPNs established to outside providers, sometimes even over 50 separate connections are established, and over 1,000 studies are sent/received monthly
Reports are often faxed to accompany electronically sent images
Our Solution: UpLink
Send patients or external providers with an upload link that connects directly with ImageX
Can be integrated with existing patient portals to automate acquisition
