Cedara WebAccess™Image Integration in a Health Information Exchange (HIE)
|
Overview
Our solutions for HIE integration enable seamless interoperability between Health Information Exchanges and radiology systems. Without moving a single image file, all HIE users can have access to critical diagnostic results and images relying on web-based integration and zero-client viewing capability.
Provider Benefits
Increased physician efficiency through streamlined access to information and elimination of multiple system logins.
Reduced potential for medical errors due to mis-interpretation of, or lack of, radiology results
Improved billing performance and reduced results distribution costs
Patient Benefits
Accurate and Consistent quality of care irrespective of location
Reduced unnecessary tests and minimized exposure to radiation.
Payer Benefits
Access to patient’s entire imaging history helps clinicians reduce unnecessary tests and results in lower cost per patient.
Improved Quality Assurance and Benefit Plan Tracking

Cedara WebAccess™ Integrates Radiology with your HIE
Cedara WebAccess enables HIEs to deliver these benefits and helps foster the adoption of HIE across the region by creating additional financial and clinical benefits for the participating facilities. Architected on robust interoperability, WebAccess provides cross-facility integration without duplication of data or proprietary integrations.
In addition to the back-end integration, Cedara WebAccess’ zero-footprint deployment technology provides clinicians and CIOs with a solution to overcome the challenges associated with distribution of images over a wide area network such as expensive hardware replacements, high IT support /deployment costs, platform compatibility issues and high bandwidth requirements.
WebAccess can be implemented quickly without involving down-time from existing systems. This non-intrusive approach ensures minimal workflow disruption and presents a very fast ROI.
Security and HIPAA compliance
We provide a robust user access control module to restrict access to authorized users only. Our architecture also allows for a quick, open architecture based, integration with the facility’s user identity management system to provide single-sign on capability.
We ensure that the patient information is never stored on user machines, and hence even if a machine is lost, patient data is not compromised.
Lastly, the communication between the server and client is encrypted and all events are logged for HIPAA compliance.
