NEW FUJIFILM SYNAPSE PATIENT-CENTRIC VNA SOLUTION HIGHLIGHTED AT

2014 HEALTHCARE INFORMATION & MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS SOCIETY (HIMSS) CONFERENCE & EXHIBIT

 

Stamford, Conn., February 21, 2014 (Booth #4074) FUJIFILM Medical Systems U.S.A., Inc., will unveil a patient-centric vendor neutral archive (VNA) for healthcare professionals at the 2014 annual meeting of the Healthcare Informatics Management Systems Society (HIMSS) conference and exhibit in Orlando, FL from February 23-27, 2014. Synapse VNA technology will catalog and maintain the data in a patient centric model allowing a single access point for EMRs and other systems.

 

Patient healthcare requires communication and decision-making across care providers and settings,” said Jim Morgan, vice president of Medical Informatics, FUJIFILM Medical Systems U.S.A., Inc. “Fujifilm is pleased to introduce Synapse VNA, a new healthcare information technology platform that simplifies healthcare reporting and enables the healthcare community to have access to a complete patient record and streamlines workflow.”

 

Multi-vendor environments are commonplace and Synapse VNA provides the platform to interface and integrate the data generated by these systems, and provide actionable intelligence. Synapse VNA will enhance image management, streamline workflow, reduce costs and, most importantly, improve patient care. It can be implemented within any environment and offers data access and availability.  The archive allows sharing and consolidation of the storage and provides secure access across all authorized users.  Synapse VNA provides a unified viewing experience for the VNA DICOM and non-DICOM data.

 

 

The Synapse VNA solution also embraces the importance of fast access to content through a zero download single viewing solution capable by displaying content within the VNA securely to desktop computers, mobile devices, or through EMR with Synapse Mobility.
