New at the CeBIT: CHILI DICOM Images in the ICW Hospital Networking Solution
The ICW hospital networking solution, introduced for the first time at the MEDICA 2005, connects existing but so far isolated hospital information systems without having to exchange the present software. In a virtual patient record, the system provides authorized physicians with all information and documents available for their patients in the clinic group. With the integration of the CHILI webserver, the physicians can now also access the DICOM image data in a uniform viewer. This includes digital images and videos recorded during an endoscopy or with a microscope for example, besides computer tomographies, magnetic resonance tomographies, x-ray images and ultrasound images.
The images available in the widespread DICOM standard can be viewed and edited as usual: e.g. the physician can zoom in the image, set the contrast and perform measurements. CHILI's remote radiology functions can now also be used comfortably via ICW's virtual patient record. For a teleconference about a patient, the involved physicians simply select the corresponding virtual patient record and call up the desired image and connection with a mouse click.
Dr. Uwe Engelmann, one of the three founders of CHILI GmbH, is convinced: "The future belongs to integrating systems that cover all aspects of sector-spanning communication. And because there is hardly a manufacturer who is able to cover such a broad spectrum alone, we looked for a partner with a powerful, open platform for integration in the health care system. We have found this cooperation partner in ICW."
The CHILI images in ICW's hospital networking solution are displayed at the CeBIT 2006 at the ICW stand D 22 in hall 9.
