White Paper: Accelerate EMR Application Development Using Imaging Tools

By Paul B. Firth, Product Manager, Accusoft Pegasus

We are on the cusp of the greatest opportunity in U.S. history for improved healthcare through expanded availability of patient data. As the EMR revolution gains steam, with the help of nearly $20B in new funding through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), more custom implementations will be built and deployed to serve the specific needs of hospitals, clinics, physician's offices, and other providers. Images are a vital, yet highly challenging, part of nearly all EMR designs. Using third-party tools for handling images enables you to add advanced features while speeding up development, reducing cost, and getting your product to market sooner.
