• Lower cost by providing a consolidated view of medical imaging and clinical IT infrastructure – Centricity Clinical Archive’s information repository helps remove redundant departmental archives and helps lower the IT infrastructure footprint.

• Improve clinical workflow operational efficiency – Centricity Clinical Archive’s information repository and Information Life Cycle (ILM) management tools help reduce the operational overhead of maintaining disparate IT systems, as well as reduce training costs allowing CIOs and IT directors to get more predictable operational costs.

• Improve patient care experience – Centricity Clinical Archive helps improve the patient’s care experience by enabling ubiquitous access¹ to clinical records.

• Foster informed decision making – Centricity Clinical Archive enables access to patient health records within the Electronic Medical Record (EMR). This critical access helps care providers make more informed decisions.

• Improve productivity with easier information sharing – With ubiquitous access¹ to a patient’s clinical information and a highly intuitive web viewer that makes it easier to search and access relevant information, care providers are able to increase productivity.

• Reduce unnecessary exams & patient transfers – Centricity Clinical Archive helps enable access to historical clinical information across the network (including radiology exams and reports). This full access helps physicians make more informed decisions before requesting additional imaging procedures and/or patient transfers.

• Standards based storage across a multi-ology, multi-site clinical content repository that enables consolidation of IT infrastructure and departmental PACS systems for archiving and managing unstructured medical images, reports and documents using industry standards (DICOM, IHE-XDS).

• A diagnostic zero footprint viewer, supporting industry standards like DICOM and IHE-XDS for anywhere, anytime¹ access to patient images and documents.

• An IHE-XDS (Cross Enterprise Document Sharing) registry that allows external systems to access patient record in a standards compliant manner.

• Dynamic and static tag morphing capabilities as part of the archive to manipulate content of DICOM tags in a study during archiving or retrieval.

• Information lifecycle management helping easily create, modify and implement rules to govern the management of imaging studies across the enterprise.

• A master patient index to link patient records across network boundaries.

• A messaging interface engine to combine clinical workflow systems like HIS and RIS to update information repository and keep information consistent across systems.

• A device interface engine to connect non-standard devices and systems to store data in the repository in a standards format.
