Confluence Health cardiac services coordinator Amy Roe noted the hospital conducts 10-15 cases every day across three cath/EP labs.

Confluence Health also liked the fact that Merge Hemo has the ability to capture information through its touch-screen user interface at the point of care and looks forward to integrating it with their Cerner EHR in the near future.

Merge Healthcare CEO Justin Dearborn noted the company is very proud of its Merge Hemo solution.

"We take KLAS rankings very seriously, and clearly so do providers like Confluence Health. As an industry leader, we have worked diligently to ensure Merge Hemo exceeds expectations not only in functionality but in training, implementation and support," Dearborn added.

Along with Merge Hemo, the Merge Cardiology suite also includes Merge Cardio, an enterprise-level image and information system that provides a single point of entry to the patient’s complete cardio record spanning all cardiac modalities.
