Compressus received a allowance from United States Patent & Trademark Office for  patent entitled “Autonomous Routing of Network Messages Within a Healthcare Communication Network” at RSNA.

The patent reflects the foundational medical message routing technologies that enable the Compressus MEDxConnect System to provide an integrated, virtualized workflow environment to healthcare providers. One of the central issues that create communications breakdowns in healthcare Enterprises is the fact that messages generated from disparate imaging and IT systems are created and sent in different formats. As a result, data cannot be exchanged, may be lost, or has to be re-created or reformatted manually, adding time consuming steps and the potential for errors into the communication process. MEDxConnect employs intelligent analysis based on the data received and required end userparameters to automatically distribute the data in the appropriate context based on specific factors.

"The core technological need in the HIT environment will be the ability to integrate data generated from disparate digital sources into a uniform, intelligent stream of information. The patent demonstrates Compressus’ leadership in this area,” said Jay H. Sanders, MD, CEO of The Global Telemedicine Group and professor of medicine (Adjunct ), Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and President Emeritus of the American Telemedicine Association.The integrated imaging and data management solution from Compressus is designed to support a facility’s current and expanded workload and provide an infrastructure for sustained growth. Building the functionality required for remote connectivity, the system enables users to access diagnostic images and reports in the existing data stores at each facility,increasing the level of medical care while reducing the associated costs.

“This patent reflects eight years of development to optimize workflow and provide interoperability across multiple HIS, RIS and PACS and secures the intellectual property that provides the foundation of our Medical Message Mediator,” said Albert Hernandez, vice president, engineering and product development for Compressus.
