It's called Remote Queries, it can be configured by your site admins within the IMPAX client config screen (per user), and it uses standard DICOM (CFIND/CMOVE)to do so. The pitfall is searches take longer as IMPAX needs to wait for the results from the third party system.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10485390.post-63916606861120624922011-07-25T17:56:31.504-04:002011-07-25T17:56:31.504-04:00We are faced with the same dilema but not as the r...We are faced with the same dilema but not as the reading group. But one of the PACS admins that the rads want to fix this issue. Are these two facilities owned by the same corporation? If the reading group has contracts with two seperate entities is it the actually the reading groups responsibility to pay for this interfacing? If we agree to work together with the competing entity are there HIPPA issues or Stark issues that we may put ourselves at risk of violating? Any comments are appreciated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10485390.post-18892840703539355112011-07-22T18:39:22.921-04:002011-07-22T18:39:22.921-04:00Dear "GE Healthcare IT"

No PACS vendor can build a unified worklist properly because they will always try to get rid of the other vendors in a mixed vendor environment. Welcome to the world of middleware.

GE Healthcare offers a broad portfolio of solutions aimed at solving this problem which, we agree, is one faced by many Radiology department operations. For example, our Centricity OneView solution is currently enabling our customers to share historical images, for comparison, between multiple PACS vendors including Agfa.<br /><br />For more information on this or any of our other solutions, please contact GE Healthcare Centricity Imaging at jay.fisher@ge.com .GE Healthcare ITnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10485390.post-49854770592513833532011-07-21T19:15:27.023-04:002011-07-21T19:15:27.023-04:00Not configuration that is for sure!

This is an issue of a vendor or vendors not understanding how to move into a restful state architecture. A unified worklist is possible in many types of applications. These PACS vendors have chosen not to change from the 'old way' to the ' current way' . Direct database calls are old school!Xray4unoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10485390.post-6814015897608696692011-07-17T01:32:12.654-04:002011-07-17T01:32:12.654-04:00Are your facilities using Global Patient ID's?...Are your facilities using Global Patient ID's? Has Relevant Prior rules been configured correctly? How about Body Part/Specialty mappings? Are the studies being routed between GE <-> Agfa? Is prefetching enabled? This sounds more like a configuration error then a lack of functionality by either vendor....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
