Agfa HealthCare, a leading provider of diagnostic imaging and healthcare IT solutions, announced that its IMPAX Data Center 2.0 is now available in the United States at HIMSS 2010.

The solution will support the healthcare provider community in bringing the last major information category – imaging - into electronic medical record ( EMR ) and electronic health record ( EHR ), literally “visualizing” EHRs and EMRs to help meet requirements of meaningful use and challenges of healthcare transformation in the age of imaging-enabled medicine.

" Agfa HealthCare 's IMPAX Data Center 2.0 offers a solid foundation of imaging infrastructure to healthcare enterprises committed to taking full control of clinical imaging information," says Lenny J. Reznik, Agfa HealthCare's Director of Enterprise Imaging and Information.

Featuringa vendor-neutral repository for all images across the enterprise, IMPAX Data Center 2.0 uses IHE PIX and XDS(-I) to deliver cross-enterprise sharing of patient data, as well as an industry-endorsed framework that integrates patient records across facilities and patient identifiers.

IMPAX Data Center 2.0 helps to reduce integration complexity, promote business continuity, centralize operations, lower IT costs and deliver an integrated patient record for improved delivery of care. XDS implementations are slated for multiple sites inCanadawith the potential to cover over 40% of Canadian patients.

Used in combination with IMPAX Data Center 2.0, Agfa HealthCare's unique XERO technology embeds and integrates dynamic standards-based image and results viewing into EHR s and EMR s, freeing providers from the burden of client software installation.

Adds Reznik, "Used together, these two Agfa HealthCare solutions support CIOS, CMIOs and medical leaders in extending EMRs and EHR s to include support for all medical images, while offering practicing clinicians streamlined access to a newly invigorated longitudinal patient record.

IMPAX Data Center 2.0 is on display at Agfa HealthCare's booth #1633 at the annual HIMSS 10 conference,March 1-4, 2010, inAtlanta,Georgia.
