TeraMedica’s Evercore Smartstore to Connect 11 Locations
(MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin – April 5th, 2012)
“Jefferson Radiology sought out vendor neutral architecture to gain visibility into all of their customer data, given the fact they provide primary diagnostic reading for several hospitals in the area,” said Jim Prekop, TeraMedica’s President and CEO. “By supporting a statewide image-sharing initiative, TeraMedica’s Evercore Clinical Enterprise Suite will enable Jefferson Radiology to reach a higher level of patient care.”
Added Prekop: “This implementation was driven by Jefferson Radiology Chief Technology Officer (CTO), Michael L. Quinn, who wanted to integrate studies throughout Jefferson Radiology’s multiple facilities. By utilizing Evercore, Jefferson Radiology should see immediate consolidation of storage costs, increased control of their data as well as reduced cost of ownership.”
“Our physicians provide a significant level of clinical depth and breadth radiology expertise,” said Quinn. “Aligned with the goal of employing the most sophisticated, state-of-the-art technology, Jefferson has the only advanced imaging analysis and 3D lab in the state, and is one of a few such advanced facilities in the country. It only makes sense that we also implement Evercore, a highly-regarded vendor neutral architecture, to allow our subspecialty radiologists the ability to work more accurately and provide a better product to our referring physicians.”
Evercore integrates and manages patient-centric clinical content in the clinical and research settings across wide geographies, including standard DICOM objects. Evercore also possesses the ability to natively manage and distribute 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 non-standard formats.
TeraMedica’s patented Smartstore™ module intelligently manages the total image lifecycle of DICOM and beyond. The Univision™ module provides 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.
