Lexmark technologies lauded for progress toward interoperability and liquidity of healthcare content
Lexington, Ky. – Lexmark announced today that it has been named 2015 North American Company of the Year in Healthcare Content Management (HCM) by Frost & Sullivan.
Until recently, managing different types of healthcare content required implementing a number of disparate, often loosely-integrated IT solutions, including departmental PACS, vendor-neutral archives (VNA) for DICOM content, enterprise content management (ECM) platforms and other middleware tools to structure, capture and ingest various types information. This approach posed challenges to the ability to unify the IT strategy and generate cost efficiencies, imposed limitations such as a lack of scalability and usability, and created concerns about data ownership and control.
The Lexmark HCM approach combines ECM, VNA, image connectivity and exchange technologies to create an integrated framework for managing all forms of patient-related content – medical images, digital photos, video and documents – making them interoperable and available through a single viewer within the electronic medical record (EMR). Lexmark’s unique approach for bringing these complementary solutions together allows healthcare delivery organizations to be more responsive to patient needs while taking advantage of the efficiencies offered by an enterprise content strategy.
“Lexmark is a technology leader with a rich history of providing innovative solutions for managing unstructured content across the healthcare continuum,” said Reynolds C. Bish, vice president, Lexmark and president, Enterprise Software. “This award is another validation of the innovation and execution we strive to deliver so our healthcare customers can produce better results for clinical decision-makers and the patients they serve.”
