Today\u2019s transaction reflects one of the most important steps we could imagine in reaching that vision,\u201d said Mike Lipps, Intelerad CEO. \u201cBringing together two of the industry\u2019s leading image exchange providers further solidifies Intelerad\u2019s commitment to helping clinicians and patients lead the revolution in imaging from a world of siloed PACS to a future of interoperable image exchange.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Medical record interoperability has been a key component of the 21st Century Cures Act and its focus on eliminating all forms of information blocking. <span class=\"s2\">Radiology leaders and industry stakeholders have been champions for establishing a framework for seamless electronic image transfer <\/span>in an effort to improve patient care and eliminate the burden on caregivers. By combining two of the largest image sharing networks and ensuring open access between networks, Intelerad takes a critical step in advancing access to digital health information.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">\u201cAs an advocate for radiology\u2019s critical role in health equity, I am so encouraged by the announcement of this expanded network and its commitment to interoperability,\u201d said Dr. Geraldine McGinty, past President of the ACR. \u201cPatients and physicians alike need an easy way to share images and this is an important first step toward enabling vendors to work together as they should.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s3\">Leading healthcare systems have been pushing for seamless interoperability. \u201c<\/span>At our recent Enterprise Imaging Summit, interoperability of imaging data was a top concern expressed by many healthcare systems,\u201d said Adam Gale, CEO of KLAS Research, the leading healthcare research firm. \u201cAs healthcare continues to evolve, the dedication to interoperability becomes critical to advancing the industry. While the future is unknown, we are hopeful this move to enhance the sharing of images will benefit all patients.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">With this transaction, Intelerad and Life Image serve many of the largest medical institutions in the world, including <span class=\"s4\">Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic and New York Presbyterian Hospital. <\/span>The combined network manages over 80 billion images globally, enabling 24\/7 digital image sharing from any device wherever the provider or patient may be.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">\u201cTogether we have both worked to advance patient care and are excited to have the opportunity to bring these two leading networks together to advance interoperability,\u201d said Morris Panner, President of Intelerad and former CEO of Ambra Health, which was <span class=\"s2\">acquired by Intelerad in Oct 2021<\/span>. \u201cAs independent companies we competed, but also pioneered some of the most important cross-vendor exchanges in the industry. By combining, we are able to advance our vision and technology more rapidly and achieve our joint vision of a true nation-wide, electronic image exchange network. We are just getting started.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">For more information regarding the acquisition of Life Image, or Intelerad\u2019s commitment to interoperability, please visit intelerad.com and follow the company on social media at @Intelerad.
