Merge Healthcare Announces Partnership with Orion Health

Feb. 18, 2010

MILWAUKEE–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Merge Healthcare (NASDAQ: MRGE) announced today that it has signed a reseller agreement with Orion Health, a leading provider of clinical workflow and integration solutions in healthcare. Orion Health has licensed Merge technology to bring medical images and information into its physician portal solutions.

“An integrated medical record helps healthcare organizations improve the quality of care by bringing more complete information into medical decision making at the point of care,” says Paul Viskovich, President of Orion Health, North America and EMEA. “Our customers find that images are a particular challenge, and have been asking us for imaging integration. Merge’s extensive experience in this arena makes them the best partner to help us deliver this to our customers. We are excited to showcase this new integrated Concerto Physician Portal™ at the upcoming HIMSS Conference in Atlanta.” Orion Health will be offering demos of this solution and many others at their booth #1911 at HIMSS.

The portal platform provided by Merge, called Cedara WebAccess™, provides access to radiology results and images from anywhere within an HIE, without opening separate applications or copying data. The images and information are displayed within a “zero-client” HIE portal that is intuitive and requires no additional hardware or bandwidth. In addition to the Orion Health booth at the Health Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) meeting, Cedara WebAccess will be presented in the Interoperability Showcase. This sought-after area of the trade show provides attendees with education and examples of the latest health information exchange standards. Merge will exhibit its products at the HIMSS Conference (Hall C / Booth # 3143), as well as in several other partner booths.

“We are thrilled to work with Orion Health to bring more comprehensive diagnostic data into their solutions,” says Antonia Wells, President of Merge’s OEM business. “This partnership is a further affirmation of the value in our standards-based integration approach, multi-source data consolidation and zero-footprint viewing technology. We believe it will provide Orion Health customers like hospitals and HIEs with a quick return on investment.”

Merge Healthcare develops solutions that automate healthcare data and diagnostic workflow to enable a better electronic record of the patient experience, and to enhance product development for health IT, device and pharmaceutical companies. Merge products, ranging from standards-based development toolkits to sophisticated clinical applications, have been used by healthcare providers, vendors and researchers worldwide for over 20 years.

Orion Health is a leading provider of clinical workflow and integration technology for the healthcare sector. Orion Health’s clinical information software meets the information needs of clinical staff and healthcare managers, delivering secure, universal access to healthcare information and helping healthcare providers proactively manage and coordinate patient care across the community. Orion Health’s integration and messaging products streamline the exchange of healthcare data within organizations and between business partners.
