You're invited…to simplify image sharing for HIE organizations

Diagnostic imaging holds significant promise as a foundation for improved patient care and efficiency; however, only a small percentage of today's HIE organizations support the efficient sharing of diagnostic images and imaging data.

Join Nuance, along with guest speakers from Coordinated Care Oklahoma (CCO), for an insightful look at how Nuance Healthcare solutions helped CCO break down HIE data silos and enable a higher level of clinical coordination and business outcomes.

Topic: Simplifying image sharing for HIE organizations

Date: January 19, 2017

Time: 1:30 PM CST

Speakers:

  • Dr. Brian Yeaman, Chief Administrative Officer, Coordinated Care Oklahoma; President and Founder, Yeaman & Associates
  • Grady Cason, Vice President of Business Development, Yeaman & Associates
  • Michelle Sporleder, Senior Manager, PowerShare Product Management, Nuance Healthcare

In this webinar, we will work to raise awareness of the issues and activities involved when making the decision to provide ubiquitous access to diagnostic images.

Focusing on what matters most. Beyond words.

We're making PowerShare Network available to Make-A-Wish families traveling to the Orlando area, and to mark this very special relationship, we’re donating $15,000 to Make-A-Wish Illinois to help grant a wish for Shane, a special 11-year-old who loves to play with animals and be outside. He has always dreamed of traveling to a place that is sunny and warm…where he can be outside all day…and Shane will find just that when he and his family head off to San Diego for his wish trip!

Last year, Shane was diagnosed with bone cancer and began treatments at Lurie Children's Hospital. His witty personality caught the eye of his social worker, Joni, who referred him to Make-A-Wish® Illinois. Shane can't wait to visit the zoo, and is extremely excited for the chance to see his favorite animals - otters! He and his whole family also look forward to visiting several theme parks where they can see all kinds of amazing exhibits and ride giant coasters. Shane's dream vacation will take place next summer, and he is counting down the days until his carefree getaway!

"We firmly support Make-A-Wish and the life-changing impact of a wish experience," said Karen Holzberger, GM and Vice President of Nuance Diagnostic Solutions. "It keeps organizations like Nuance focused on what matters most: the people we serve each and every day."

So what's your wish? Go on a cruise? Get married? Have kids? Travel around the world? See the Northern Lights? Touch a life? Post it to your social networks and add #NuanceWishParty.

If you're interested in helping with Shane's Make-A-Wish gift, you can do so at nuance.com/wishparty.

Corporate Enterprise Image Sharing

In a corporate enterprise (or simply enterprise), you can now share image sets owned by other facility accounts in the enterprise without having to first copy the image set to your PowerShare repository.

When this feature is enabled for your enterprise, and one of your enterprise accounts owns an image set, you can share the image set with one of your PowerShare contacts without having to copy the image set to your PowerShare account. To do this, access the enterprise image sets using the Advanced Images Search feature on the Images tab. When an enterprise image set is eligible for sharing, the Share these images button will be enabled allowing you to perform a share with one of your contacts.

NoteNOTE: Configuring your network for this feature must be performed by the PowerShare Support team. Please work with a member of the Outreach or Support team to coordinate enabling/disabling this feature.

_______________back to top_______________

HIE Integration

You can now have comprehensive access to a patient’s prior imaging without the need to leave the Health Information Exchange (HIE) software. Users will be able to retrieve image sets stored on external archives and view image sets stored within the PowerS hare cloud repositories for any PowerShare-enabled sites within the HIE.

The HIE integration queries all external archives and PowerShare cloud repositories associated with accounts within the HIE software layer embedded in your EMR. The query finds all matches based on accession number. For each image set match, two potential actions can be taken:

  • For image sets stored within external archives, users can retrieve the image set from the cloud repository associated to their PowerShare facility account.
  • For image sets uploaded or shared to their PowerShare facility account, users can view the image set in the PowerShare clinical viewer using the PowerShare Viewer Widget.

For more details about HIE integration, follow up with your Outreach manager or contact the support team.
