Medstrat

Description

We provide an out-of-the-box solution to HL7 that is IHE compliant. This means your EMR, if it is IHE compliant, can send Scheduling Information (SIU) HL7 messages to our PACS. Those scheduling entries will be stored on the PACS until they are requested on the Study Date by the Modality during a DICOM Modality Worklist request. Unfortunately, some EMRs are not IHE compliant solutions for integrating with a PACS because they use their own brand of “HL7 messaging”. As such, there can be a need for collaboration between all three parties to help alleviate non-compliance issues.

In addition to the cases listed above, we also have mechanisms in place for additional situations listed in the HITECH Act. We maintain server logs for the purposes of audit controls ( 45 CFR 164.312 (b) ). Our test suites provide integrity controls to ensure our software has no known scenarios that could lead to unintended alteration of data ( 45 CFR164.312(c) ). We provide a data back-up service and can aid in defining a disaster recovery plan to those using our Depots product ( 45 CFR 164.308(a)(7) ).

In 1996, Medstrat went into business to provide the industry’s first PACS system designed specifically for the unique needs of orthopedic surgeons and their practices. We continue to lead the industry.

You are responsible for some cases which are under your control. For data-at-rest cases 1a (i) and (ii), you are responsible for implementing safeguards for restricting physical access to servers ( 45 CFR 164.310 (a) ). For data-at-rest cases 1a (iii) and data-in-use cases 3a and 3b, we suggest that you provide safeguards for both physical and electronic access to your workstations ( 45 CFR 164.310 (b) and (c) and 145 CFR 164.312 ).

Issues such as slow speed, unreliability, reduced uptime and poor tech support often arise when your PACS company is focused on other product lines and services – and not on your PACS software.
