There are already a couple players in this space - AGMednet and Intelemage. I wonder how this is different. Agree with Clunie on the LiLa device. AGMedNet is the same way, though Intelemage is hardware agnostic and web based.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10485390.post-31810943452971671832009-08-22T10:56:09.554-04:002009-08-22T10:56:09.554-04:00So this is a competent identity-reconciling CD imp...So this is a competent identity-reconciling CD importer coupled with a regional archive and index ?<br /><br />Cool, if they do a good job of it, and provide features that your PACS is lacking (but should have anyway).<br /><br />Why do you want YAFV (yet another ... viewer), when everything should be viewable, comparable and reportable in your local PACS ?<br /><br />One of the things the Canadian Health Infoway project has worked on is providing a regional archive, but making access to images in it via the local PACS interface feasible and transparent. Easier said than done of course. The central indexing of reports and images is something IHE XDS registries provide.<br /><br />I will be interested to see what Life Image's identity provisioning, authentication and access control model is, which is always a problem with these types of solutions, and has been challenging for the Canadians and other XDS-based approaches.<br /><br />I will also be interested to see what Life Image's business model for the service is (e.g., who is paying to store and access what and when).<br /><br />I do hope that Life Image is going to provide standard mechanisms for contributing to and accessing the system ... the LILA "appliance" does not sound promising in this regard, with yet another ... box (YAFB) installed locally.<br /><br />Life sure would be a whole lot easier if the government just decided to build a single nationwide PACS database and archive.<br /><br />DavidDavid Cluniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17331067317921452126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10485390.post-34751480220390463182009-08-21T16:14:20.087-04:002009-08-21T16:14:20.087-04:00Sound very unique and innovative.
