Siemens Healthineers is expanding its range of population health management product line with a pending acquisition of radiology vendor Medicalis for an unveiled sum.
Imaging workflow software is being sold by Medicalis, a referral management platform to assist integrated delivery systems reduce consumer leakage to another healthcare system, and radiology clinical decision support software.
“The acquisition of Medicalis will permit us to offer healthcare providers a strong solution to define, execute, monitor and evolve their own standard of care for the diagnostic service line,” claims Robert Taylor, head of digital services population health management at Siemens Healthineers.
The tools, Taylor adds, will develop standardized diagnostic pathways to improve outcomes, control charges and improve the patient experience.
The workflow software helps in ensuring the right specialist is in place with the right tools to complete a timely radiology read while also stopping gaps in care. The referral management software involves simple appointment scheduling tools to enable sufferers to schedule examinations in their provider network.
The clinical decision support system directs and guides physicians through procedures mandated under the Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014 to ensure the appropriateness of imaging orders as well as appropriate use criteria deployed on evidence-based best practices.
The law, effective in the year of January 2018, further mandates consultation of the appropriateness of clinical decision support at the point of order for few advanced imaging tests.
