iMDsoft®, a leader in clinical information systems, announced the opening of a new office with an expanded workforce in Düsseldorf, demonstrating their firm commitment to the European market. The local team will now include a German-based professional services team providing support 24/7. 
The CARESTREAM DRX-Revolution Mobile X-ray System earned the top rating in MD Buyline's First Quarter 2013 User Satisfaction Report for portable radiographic systems. Users gave the DRX-Revolution the highest rating in all six categories in the report, which included three other suppliers. 
Caradigm, a Microsoft and GE Healthcare company, and Orion Health, a global leader in eHealth technology and interoperability, today announced they have expanded their alliance agreement to integrate Orion Health's market-leading Electronic Health Records (EHR) solution with the Caradigm Intelligence Platform (CIP) and ecosystem of applications, which will allow healthcare communities to more rapidly address today's most complex challenges - including new models of care delivery and payment, population health management and patient engagement - while also helping to reduce costs and increase revenue. 
A&E doctors are now able to provide safer emergency care round the clock to some 500,000 patients across the Bristol area - thanks to a secure electronic record sharing agreement with 50 local GP practices. The Patient Record Network (PRN) enables A&E doctors to view patient records within minutes via EMIS' EPR Viewer, which makes key information from the patient's GP record available to other clinicians. FairWarning®, the global leader in patient privacy monitoring, has contributed to Intellect's response to the government's plans for a paperless NHS. In its report 'Digitising the NHS by 2018', the UK's technology association provides its views on achieving this important challenge. NHS Scotland has further strengthened its strategic partnership with Carestream Health by signing an amendment to the long standing contract between the two organisations. The company will supply CARESTREAM Vue Mammography PACS to all of Scotland's Breast Screening Centres located at Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Inverness, Dundee and Irvine.
