The Europe Connectathon has been hosted by Bochum this year and Visbion have had a successful week in Germany. The team have spent a busy and productive week, alongside over 300 attendees from more than 100 other companies, testing their compliance to international standards such as DICOM 3.0, HL7, XDS and many more. Over the course of the week, Visbion have added a variety of new profiles to their set, with focus on Master Patient Index functionality and Image Display.
Visbion have passed the new IID Image Display Invoker profile, allowing us to launch third party diagnostic and non-diagnostic viewers from within the software. The team have also added the capability for others to launch the Visbion viewer - Image Web, from their systems. This means that Visbion now boasts fully standards-based viewer integration, demonstrating a dedication to interoperability.
The addition of the Master Patient Index profiles allows Visbion to prove the functionality of the Image Archive and VNA software for use in central patient ID cross referencing within a hospital. Alongside this, passes were achieved for patient demographic lookup profiles, demonstrating the ability to perform realtime queries for patient demographics from a hospital patient registry. These features will allow the Visbion software to act as a hub for a patient regional sharing solution.
The Visbion team have also passed a selection of other profiles, including the SWF.b profile that relates to radiology workflows and HL7 message orders. This is a complex profile, requiring completion 3 times with separate companies to fully prove compliance to the standards. The addition of the Resting ECG Workflow, and Stress Echocardiography PPSM profiles have added further functionality options to the Visbion range.
Connectathon presents an intense week of work for those who attend but this input is incredibly worthwhile when such fantastic results are achieved. The whole team are incredibly pleased with the outcomes, with extra functionality improving our product for the benefit of ourselves and our customers.
