Carestream Showcases Vue CCP at HIMSS16 to Build a New Ecosystem for Clinical Data

In the coming days, a grand showcase of top-tier healthcare IT solutions will unfold across the ocean. On February 29, 30,000 to 40,000 healthcare IT professionals, medical personnel, healthcare administrators, and corporate representatives from around the world will converge in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, to attend the HIMSS16 (Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society) Global Annual Conference, which will run through March 4. It is reported that, as a global leading provider of healthcare information management solutions, [the company] will present its latest comprehensive informatics solutions at the conference, with a focus on the new healthcare IT platform Vue CCP, enabling intelligent integration of full clinical information, mobile accessibility, and enhanced doctor-patient communication.

“As the core information repository of a hospital, the electronic medical record (EMR) must provide data support for all activities related to the clinical use and management of patient information. More importantly, however, the EMR needs to integrate an enterprise-level imaging data platform. Through this platform, intelligent access to radiology, ultrasound, pathology, endoscopy, cardiovascular, and other types of imaging data can be achieved, enabling clinicians to access comprehensive clinical data and historical diagnostic evidence when making diagnoses and developing treatment plans,” said Ludovic D’Aprea, General Manager of Healthcare IT Solutions at Carestream Health.

Carestream Vue CCP Clinical Integration Platform effectively addresses the aforementioned challenges. Vue CCP employs web-based data acquisition modules to search and tag unstructured data, subsequently linking it to specific patients’ clinical records. Unstructured data scattered across various departmental clinical or archival systems—including dermatological and wound care photographs, surgical and endoscopic videos, documents in PDF or CCD formats, and ECG waveform data—are integrated through Vue CCP. Consequently, imaging content within electronic medical records becomes part of a comprehensive repository encompassing all structured and unstructured clinical data for each patient.

Carestream Vue CCP delivers robust mobile healthcare capabilities, enabling seamless circulation of imaging data on mobile devices. Physicians can access and transmit data anytime, anywhere, thereby enhancing the timeliness of patient diagnosis and treatment services. For instance, emergency responders can instantly transmit imaging data of trauma patients to the emergency center’s system via smartphones while transporting patients.

Vue CCP Clinical Integration Platform: Simplifying and Enhancing the Efficiency of Hospital Clinical Information Management

Carestream Vue CCP provides a powerful, FDA-cleared clinical viewer, Vue Motion. Users can access examination results via tablets and mobile phones, enabling clinical image review on various mobile devices, including Apple and Samsung products. This vendor-neutral (i.e., open) viewer module can be embedded as a clinical tool into electronic medical record systems, allowing physicians to view patient medical images and documents through various mobile devices. With this fully web-based, zero-footprint viewer, users no longer need to download or install any applications.

Furthermore, through the CCP platform, physicians can share medical images with remote specialists for consultations, thereby delivering telemedicine services. Such applications not only enhance the quality of diagnosis and treatment for patients but also serve as a component of the Health Information Exchange (HIE) network within a given region.

For patients, the MyVue patient portal, powered by Carestream Vue CCP, enables them to access, manage, and share their own medical images, thereby enhancing patient engagement in personal data management and satisfaction with healthcare services.

Carestream’s universal image viewer, Vue Motion, and patient access portal, MyVue, offer robust openness and can be integrated with any third-party PACS, EHR, or other systems.

Carestream’s Vue Clinical Collaboration Platform (Vue CCP) not only delivers exceptional security and interoperability but also complies with healthcare interoperability standards, including the latest IHE and FHIR standards.
