Image exchange for the entire enterprise

lifeIMAGE provides a platform for image sharing that gives multidisciplinary teams across your organization the ability to infuse image access and exchange into everyday clinical workflows. You can use it to build and customize countless applications for image sharing, from better managing exams from patient CDs and connecting specialists to more referral sources, to replacing VPN connections with existing partners and image-enabling your HIE.

TRAUMA/CRITICAL CARE – Teams can better prepare for critically injured patients. PEDIATRICS – Sub-specialists can share their expertise, anywhere, instantly. CARDIOLOGY – Physicians can easily see exams (including echos) for new referrals. NEUROSCIENCES – Ensures reliable image access during time-sensitive stroke cases. ONCOLOGY – Streamlines the referral process, and expedites tumor board meetings. ORTHOPEDICS – Stops CDs from slowing down clinics and consultations.

ORGAN TRANSPLANT – Connect surgeons to time-sensitive, life-saving donor organs. RADIOLOGY – Differentiate services with rapid and reliable access to exams and reports. INTERNATIONAL – Hospitals can work with patients looking for US-based care. BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT – Market advanced image exchange abilities to your network.

Flexible and configurable

Every healthcare organization, and the departments within it, has its own workflow preferences. lifeIMAGE gives each clinical service tools to customize its image sharing workflow, so that image exchange can fit into existing processes for patient transfers, consultations, referrals, and more.

Hybrid technology leverages

the cloud + on-premise services

Our platform is designed to support high usage at busy health care systems through a unique combination of local and cloud technology. This hybrid approach provides meaningful integration with your local enterprise systems. By keeping most image sharing activity inside your firewall, performance levels stay optimal, even when multiple departments are uploading, viewing, sharing and importing large studies at the same time.

AD – Our on-premise app integrates with your Active Directory or LDAP server to facilitate user account creation and management

CDs – Exams uploaded from discs stay within your firewall to ensure fast, reliable transfer and visualization speeds, even at high utilization across your campuses PACS – Our local PACS interface and customizable workflow means requests to import outside studies to PACS can be processed in minutes, not days.

EHR – Integrates with Cerner so clinicians can upload, view and nominate exams to PACS, all from the patient jacket

LILA

Our local app that integrates with your

infrastructure. Decentralizes CD uploads to any PC or Mac on the network and facilitates PACS imports, system-side. Implemented as a virtual app in your VM environment.

on the lifeIMAGE network

Sharing on the network is fast, simple and secure

Temporary senders - Anyone within your organization can set up a new, ad-hoc user, without having to contact lifeIMAGE, or know the users provider ID

Permanent senders - Outfit trusted providers with whom you frequently collaborate with accounts to send and receive studies on an ongoing basis

Route from a PACS or a modality - Allow partner facilities to fully automate image transfer by auto-sending exam data

Be discoverable for new imaging connections

Allow outside physicians and patients to request an imaging connection. When approved, they can transfer studies to a physician or department, from anywhere in the world.

The EHR should be the source of truth for all imaging information – this is optimal for clinical workflow and patient care. Cerner and lifeIMAGE have partnered to create an integrated solution for medical image sharing that builds on familiar PowerChart workflows. It allows physicians to conveniently and consistently view patients’ outside exams, from the application they already use everyday.

Radiology benefits from

more efficient management

of outside studies

Completely decentralize outside exam ingestion PowerChart users enterprise-wide have a standard and reliable method for uploading and viewing outside studies. Import fewer exams to PACS

Because they are accessible in PowerChart, studies are inherently shared with every member of the care team, without having to be imported to PACS.

Streamline the import process

Patient demographics are updated during initial upload by clinical end-users, so PACS gatekeepers just have to match exams to an order.

The clinical and patient care value of an

integrated approach

Key integration features

Prevent harmful and costly repeat studies

PowerChart integration helps every clinician work with outside exams, reducing the chances of ordering an unnecessary repeat exam. Increase physician satisfaction

Give every doctor a single and practical workflow for accessing their patients’ imaging histories - eliminate the time and energy they waste dealing with CDs. Increase patient safety

Ensure every, single member of the care team is informed by the patient’s complete imaging history so they can make the best treatment recommendations.

Ramp up utilization quickly

Education and training efforts required are minimal because image sharing becomes an extension of familiar workflows.

View outside exams from PowerChart

An MPage component for lifeIMAGE displays a list of the outside studies available for a particular patient, right alongside all other standard clinical information. Clinicians can view exams with a simple click.

Add outside exams from PowerChart

Users can launch the lifeIMAGE uploader from the patient record and outside exams updated with local identifiers as they are uploaded. An identity check ensures exams are not accidentally associated with the wrong patient.
