Perceptive Acuo Vendor Neutral Archive selected to improve interoperability of existing imaging systems and provide better control of clinical data across regional hospitals and clinics for workflow and image sharing. Lexmark’s Perceptive Software announces that Atlanta, Georgia-based Piedmont Healthcare will deploy Perceptive Acuo Vendor Neutral Archive to consolidate medical image management for radiologists, cardiologists and other clinical users across all hospital and clinic locations. Perceptive Acuo Vendor Neutral Archive was selected to serve as the core technology platform for managing nearly one million diagnostic imaging studies performed annually across Piedmont facilities. Perceptive Software will also assist Piedmont in migrating approximately six million existing studies, stored primarily in radiology and cardiology picture archiving and communication systems (PACS), into the new enterprise vendor neutral archive (VNA).

Piedmont Healthcare sought an independent VNA platform to streamline management of medical images stored in separate clinical data silos, making it easier to share images across facilities and with referring physicians. They were also looking to reduce costs and complexity associated with moving clinical content from departmental archives to the point of care. Perceptive Acuo Vendor Neutral Archive is an application, storage and viewer-neutral clinical content management platform that drives better care delivery through a patient-centric approach to enterprise interoperability. It improves clinical workflow and archiving capabilities for healthcare organizations, enabling all clinical content (DICOM and non-DICOM) to be easily shared across the enterprise and providing greater freedom and flexibility in implementing departmental systems that best meet patient care, clinical quality and business process needs. Perceptive Acuo Vendor Neutral Archive also strengthens business continuance and disaster recovery capabilities with VNA software running in primary and secondary data centers.

Perceptive Acuo Vendor Neutral Archive stores medical imaging data in a standard format, providing interoperability among server and storage infrastructure, department viewing and workflow applications. This standard formatting also eliminates the need to migrate data whenever a PACS is replaced or when new facilities are integrated with the Piedmont healthcare network. Piedmont currently utilizes Perceptive Software for Enterprise Content Management throughout the health system’s five hospitals to bring key patient content such as scanned insurance cards, photographs, physician notes, etc., directly into Piedmont’s Epic Electronic Medical Record system.
