Viztek debuts web-based function for EMR integration

Viztek, a medical imaging solutions provider, has released a web-based interface with EMR systems for its family of PACS offerings.

The Jacksonville, Fla.-based Viztek said its Opal-RAD PACS solutions will support the integration of images and related data with a range of EMR applications. The new feature will enable access to PACS information directly through EMR worklists. Once users open a patient file, a single click will launch the Viztek viewer and display the desired exam, the company said.

The new feature is particularly beneficial for the company's specialty clinic customers, which will be increasingly focused on EMR functionality under the new government administration, according to the company. In particular, it also is an important functionality for digital orthopedic sites, which often rely on an EMR to integrate with their PACS to provide comprehensive patient imaging information.
