Imaging, EHR Integration Improves Clinical Workflow

By Ken Congdon

By implementing an enterprise-wide medical imaging platform that integrates with its EHR, Georgia Regents Medical Center now has a more holistic view of patient health across the care continuum.

There are many variables involved in improving patient care and outcomes. However, the process starts with information. Clinicians need to have as much accurate patient data at their fingertips as possible to make the best diagnoses, prescribe the best treatment plans, and initiate effective care coordination. Unfortunately, gaining a holistic view of a patient’s medical history is not easy. Healthcare is a highly segmented industry, and care is delivered by many providers in several different locations. Even in today’s evolving digital healthcare landscape, too much patient data is trapped in silos and often overlooked by caregivers.
