Medicom Embeds Enterprise Imaging Workflows into the EHR Using SMART on FHIR

Details

Medicom Technologies, an enterprise imaging interoperability solution provider, has announced extending its core platform into the Electronic Health Record (EHR) with a suite of SMART on FHIR applications available in Connection Hub on the Epic Showroom. This places essential tools for managing and exchanging imaging data directly into the clinician's primary workspace. This unified approach ensures that critical imaging studies are accessible, accurate, and actionable within the EHR—whether before an appointment or for ongoing care. By embedding these workflows, clinicians gain a complete, in-context history necessary for faster, more informed decision-making, thereby improving clinical efficiency and reducing administrative burden. According to CEO Michael Rosenberg, adopting SMART on FHIR allows image exchange to move beyond limited point solutions and integrate directly into the EHR. The platform is already being adopted by leading health systems like NYU Langone. Key capabilities include: * **Checkpoint**: Validates and reconciles external studies against open orders for data quality. * **Data Import**: Streamlines ingesting imaging studies from physical media (CDs/DVDs). * **Patient Match**: Automatically applies the correct Medical Record Number (MRN) to incoming data, enhancing patient safety. * **Patient Upload**: A secure application embedded in a patient portal for self-submitted images. * **API Connector**: Provides flexible integration for custom workflows with third-party systems. * **Append**: Automatically supplements outgoing imaging sends with relevant EHR data, ensuring a complete clinical picture.
