TeraMedica Offers Intelligent Clinical Image Cloud Management thorugh its Evercore® Clinical Enterprise Suite – Powered by Logicalis Cloud

Patented Platform Provides Security, Scalability and Flexibility in the Cloud

(MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin – February 20th, 2012)

TeraMedica today announced that it now features expanded flexibility in intelligent clinical image lifecycle management, further ease of data storage, and a greater reduction of operating costs through its new cloud storage solution. Its Evercore® Clinical Enterprise Suite, the leading Vendor Neutral Archive (VNA) in the industry, now provides more storage options through off-site cloud archiving. TeraMedica is pleased to offer this complete cloud storage solution in partnership with Logicalis.

“Our patented Evercore Clinical Enterprise Suite highlights our commitment to offering choices in improving patient care, reducing cost of healthcare and enhancing physician acceptance in the new patient-centered electronic medical domain,” said Jim Prekop, TeraMedica President and CEO. “Our patented platform was the first to truly offer clinical image lifecycle management, and it’s a natural fit that TeraMedica would also provide the most comprehensive cloud offering in the market.”

“From our work in the industry, we know that medical images often aren’t accessed or needed more than once. So it only makes sense to farm that data off to the cloud,” said Ed Brown, TeraMedica Vice President of Business Development. “Utilizing our intelligent clinical image cloud management services, Evercore Smartstore™ automatically and efficiently moves the data that healthcare providers don’t need to access on an everyday basis, thus significantly saving on storage costs.”

Evercore’s flexible and scalable architecture integrates and manages patient-centric clinical content in the clinical and research settings across wide geographies, including standard DICOM objects. Evercore natively manages and distributes data beyond DICOM using global standards such as MPG, JPG, PDF and many other critical clinical content such as treatment plans for cancer care or vital reports in unstructured data formats.

TeraMedica’s patented Smartstore module intelligently manages the total image lifecycle of DICOM and beyond. Smartstore provides shared enterprise infrastructure for managing clinical content based on business policies, specifically tailored to meet the needs of individual hospitals and/or departments. Evercore’s Univision™ module features a multi-layer, zero-download image viewer, with seamless integration to any EMR/EHR/PHR/RHIO. TeraMedica’s vendor-independent platform connects multiple PACS to any storage system, thus ending cumbersome data migration.

Logicalis, a $1 billion provider of integrated information and communications technology (ICT) solutions and services, offers TeraMedica customers an off-site archiving solution powered by the Logicalis Enterprise Cloud. The Logicalis Enterprise Cloud is an enterprise-class public cloud offering capable of running business critical applications and supporting leading healthcare applications.  It offers TeraMedica customers one of the most flexible cloud archive solutions and adheres to the highest industry standards for data centers.
