Imaging Internal Selection Process
• Rigorous RFP process around imaging selection by individual hospital
members
• In all cases – Vital – was selected as the preferred partner
• Technology focus was originally driven by “Internal” applications
• Technology focus shifted to “Referral Community”
• Central Image Repository: Too costly
• Archive deployment: A different use case
• Image access: speed was paramount
•
“Streaming” technology replaces tradition store-and-forward
• Importance of access to community data

Why “Image Enable”?
University of Michigan Research
• Shows fewer repeat medical images made in ERs of Hospitals taking part in HIE
• Study focused on patients who went to two different ERs in a thirty day period
• Findings showed use of repeat CT scans, chest X-rays & Ultrasound scans
lower when patients of both ERs participated in a HIE
• Actual Benefits:
•
Patients 59% less likely to have a redundant CT, 44% less likely on US, and 67%
less likely on chest X-ray
• Researchers pulled data that showed the following
•
•
•
20,139 repeat CTs (14.7%)
13,060 repeat US (21%)
29,703 repeat chest X-Rays (19.5%)
