Healthcare IT Manufacturer and Teleradiology Interoperability Expert Introduce New FHIR System

By HospiMedica International staff writers
Posted on 20 Jan 2016
A new interoperability system that was launched at the 2015 Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) annual meeting in Chicago, USA, in November, 2015, is now being introduced into the market.

The system enables seamless integration of third party enterprise imaging systems using the latest Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) standards, and translates image data to and from FHIR to Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM), Health Level 7 (HL7), or any simple system event.

The new system, named FireBridge, was developed by Dicom Systems (Campbell, CA, USA), an integrated digital imaging workflow provider and Teleradiology interoperability expert.

FireBridge can make any interface FHIR-ready and enabled for DICOMweb, and together with DICOMweb, also enables third party applications to upload standard data to the Dicom Systems Enterprise Imaging Suite and Vendor Neutral Archive (VNA). More...
FireBridge can also be deployed an FHIR proxy for Radiology, Oncology, Cardiology, Ophthalmology, Dermatology, and other subspecialties that are connected to the Enterprise Imaging network. In addition, FireBridge can connect all third party applications to the Dicom Systems VNA securely, without Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). FireBridge extends the useful life current systems by upgrading them to the latest interoperability standards.

Dmitriy Tochilnik, Dicom Systems' president and CTO, said, "As healthcare organizations strive for greater interoperability, the introduction of HL7's next generation standard, Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) has garnered a lot of attention in the industry. FHIR facilitates interoperability by providing an implementation framework, combining Web technologies with existing HL7 capabilities. We created FireBridge to aid in the implementation of FHIR, which makes any interface FHIR ready. Those entities that embrace FHIR will ultimately be able to communicate up-to-the minute data across disparate systems, increasing health care quality, increasing patient access and use of health information and improving outcomes."
