Montage Healthcare and Mammography Reporting Systems Enter Partnership

Montage Healthcare Solutions and Mammography Reporting Systems (MRS) have teamed up to integrate Montage Search and Analytics solution with MRS systems, allowing the search-driven capability to measure, analyze and evaluate quality metrics. Montage enables access to historical report information and relational data between imaging protocols, clinical findings, therapy and outcomes. “Breast imaging already receives a significant clinical quality scrutiny because of the Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA). Including Montage data mining and analysis, to existing MRS capabilities, provides caregivers [with] exciting opportunities to further enhance breast imaging quality across the imaging modality spectrum,” says William Boonn, MD, president of Montage Healthcare Solutions, in the press release. MRS is a provider of breast imaging, procedure reporting, patient tracking and risk assessment tools. Their systems include numerous breast imaging specific features, including quality assurance and risk management functions to help facilities meet stringent MQSA and ACR accreditation standards. This is the fourth partnership Montage Healthcare announced. The others are with Carestream Health, Nuance and Radimetrics (now part of Bayer Healthcare).
