Philips and Epic Integrate Information Systems

By HospiMedica staff writers
Posted on 01 Mar 2004
By combining their strengths and developing integrated healthcare information systems, Philips Medical Systems (Best, The Netherlands) and Epic Systems (Madison, WI, USA) intend to allow clinicians and nurses to transparently access patient data between departments.

The two companies have been working together to merge the Vequion products of Philips with Epic's software. More...
The collaboration combines Epic's strengths in patient-centric, enterprise-wide healthcare information systems with Philips' strengths in medical imaging. Enterprise-wide accessibility of a system that combines imaging and monitoring is designed to ensure that the right information is available to the right person at the right time and in the right location.

The products will be marketed under the Vequion brand name. An integrated radiology department product is based on Philips' EasyAccess radiology PACS and Epic's Radiant radiology information system (RIS) products. Another integrated product combines Epic's EpicCare electronic medical record (EMR) with the Xcelera catheterization lab management system and TraceMasterVue ECG (electrocardiogram) management system of Philips. These solutions were demonstrated at the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) annual meeting in Orlando (FL, USA).

"By working together to dissolve the boundaries between monitoring, imaging, and information technologies, we will be able to deliver systems that provide better care and easier workflow to a broader market,” said Judith R. Faulkner, president and CEO of Epic.
