Gwinnett Medical Center (GMC) Selects SeeMyRadiology. com to Safeguard Data and Develop Medical Image Exchange Platform
Cloud Computing Model Allows for Patient Medical Image Access
Atlanta (PRWEB) July 7, 2010
Recognized in the industry for excellence in medical image cloud computing, Accelarad’s SeeMyRadiology. com (http://www. SeeMyRadiology. com (http://www. SeeMyRadiology. com)) expanded its business today, announcing a new relationship with Gwinnett Medical Center (GMC) a Georgia-based not-for-profit network providing health care services to the Gwinnett, Duluth, and Lawrenceville communities.
The first of the three-part agreement establishes SeeMyRadiology. com as GMC’s business continuity solution, protecting, safeguarding, and sustaining GMC’s PACS (picture, archiving and communication system) during routine maintenance, or unexpected technology failures. With SeeMyRadiology. com, GMC’s physicians will be able to continue viewing medical images, through the web-based system, during PACS downtime. In addition, GMC will use SeeMyRadiology. com to give their patient community access to their medical images and enable them to share and request images as simply as uploading pictures to an online photo sharing site. Lastly, the SeeMyRadiology. com platform will connect GMC hospitals to their network of more than 5,000 referring physicians, eliminating inefficiencies and unnecessary costs associated with using CDs for medical image exchange (http://www. seemyradiology. com/features).
“This new relationship with GMC demonstrates its confidence in the SeeMyRadiology. com cloud as a comprehensive business solution for its operations, patients, and clinician community,” said Accelarad CEO Willie Tillery. “Vital patient data is now available – even during routine maintenance - and we are freeing GMC, its clinicians and patients from yesterday’s antiquated process of copying and transferring CDs, eliminating major inefficiencies.“
With the addition of Gwinnett Medical Center, SeeMyRadiology. com now celebrates its fourth new Tier-One medical center contract this quarter.
