ScImage announced that Konica Minolta Medical Imaging has integrated their ImagePilot™ digital radiography system with the EMR system at Gray Family Health using HL7 communications and web viewing technologies from ScImage.

ScImage , a leading enterprise imaging and informatics company, announced that Konica Minolta Medical Imaging has integrated their ImagePilot™ digital radiography system with the electronic medical record ( EMR ) system at Gray Family Health, a family care provider in Gray, Georgia, using HL7 communications and web viewing technologies from ScImage.

The cooperative effort provides advanced workflow functionality and EMR content delivery typically reserved for large, costly EMR installations. Practitioners at Gray Family Health will benefit from an efficient, closed-loop data exchange, linking the EMR with Konica Minolta’s ImagePilot via modality worklist and broadening the EMR system’s capability with web-enabled imaging.

Gray Family Health converted their radiographic system from analog to digital with Konica Minolta’s ImagePilot in March of this year and recently completed integration between their ImagePilot and Gray’s EMR using ScImage technologies. The result has improved access to patient information and enhanced the practice’s workflow. “All parties – Konica Minolta, ScImage, and the EMR vendor – worked cooperatively to handle the technical and workflow requirements,” says Dr. Linda Arnold of Gray Family Health. “Now, we can view x-rays on our laptops anywhere in the office. It saves us time in an appreciable way and our patients like that we can review the images with them in the exam rooms.”

In order to complete the seamless communication loop, from automated patient registration on the ImagePilot to accessing images from within the EMR, Konica Minolta teamed up with ScImage to manage the HL7 to DICOM communications channel and to image enable Gray’s EMR using ScImage’s PicomWeb. “We are pleased to working with a world class provider of computed radiography products to deliver advanced HL7 tools and the web-based EMR image linking with our PicomWeb viewer,” states Sai P. Raya, Ph.D., ScImage Founder and CEO.

“Konica Minolta continues to expand ImagePilot’s capabilities to meet the needs of private practices,” says Steven Eisner, Senior Marketing Manager at Konica Minolta. “And when there is a function that falls outside of our current features, we team up with our best partners. In this case, ScImage worked with us to create the workflow that Gray desired. Their technology contributed perfectly to this workflow solution.”
