BridgeHead Software Introduces the Latest Version of its VNA Solution
August 2013 by Marc Jacob
BridgeHead Software announced enhancements to its Vendor Neutral Archive (VNA) solution for healthcare organizations. BridgeHead’s enhancements improve the way it handles DICOM images as part of its enterprise archive solution, providing hospitals and partners with broader support for Cross-enterprise Document Sharing for Imaging (XDS-i). XDS-i publishes images to an XDS repository that facilitates the sharing of those images inside a hospital and across a group of care sites.
New features in DICOM handling found in BridgeHead’s VNA solution include:
· Improved Support for XDS-i – to publish images to an XDS interoperability framework and aid the retrieval of those imaging documents across a group of affiliated enterprises, using WADO (web access for DICOM objects);
· Performance improvements – especially with regards to C-Move capabilities;
· Fully cluster aware – the BridgeHead VNA can now be installed in a Windows cluster.
As part of the BridgeHead HDM Solution, BridgeHead’s VNA offering enables hospitals to efficiently manage all of their image data within one environment. BridgeHead Software’s HDM not only offers a VNA for DICOM images, but also a compatible archive for non-DICOM files, featuring a rich policy engine used for Information Lifecycle Management (ILM), and controlling features like encryption and compression. BridgeHead Software’s HDM also offers comprehensive protection of all manner of data found within healthcare environments, from medical images, scanned patient documents, and patient notes, through to email, PDFs and many other file types.
