Enterprise Imaging Solutions

An interoperable platform to image-enable your health enterprise.

News

Merge is now officially partnering with Indica Labs, a leading provider of AI-powered digital pathology solutions, to seamlessly integrate digital pathology into Merge imaging solutions.

OVERVIEW

Image-enable your healthcare enterprise

Merge enterprise imaging solutions are designed to seamlessly share medical images between healthcare service lines and provide a foundation for more efficient patient care.

Is your organization struggling to deliver a more complete patient record to care providers, including medical images, photos, videos, and other types of unstructured content? As healthcare providers accumulate various systems for housing medical images by service line, unwieldy silos of imaging information can slow down care delivery processes and run afoul of regulations like the CURES Act that mandate direct image-accessibility to patients.

Through a central vendor neutral archive and unified viewer, Merge enterprise imaging solutions can establish a single source of truth for all imaging data, supporting enhanced collaboration and integration with the EHR.
