Greater Houston Healthconnect is using the DICOM Grid Gateway connected to Healthconnect’s community health record (CHR). Healthconnect provides an image sharing service that enables providers to share medical images in a variety of ways, irrespective of their own PACS system or viewing capabilities. Authorized physicians and administrators can query and retrieve patient images and associated reports, launch studies in a clinical, zero-footprint install viewer, download studies to a local PACS, leveraging sharing functionality from one centralized location. Physicians can also send images via a secure link to any provider in any location.
