Covenant HealthCare has deployed Merge Healthcare's iConnect software at its 600-bed facility.

iConnect provides access to any approved Web-enabled device which aids hospital physicians and referring physicians to view medical images.

Clinicians can use iConnect Access’ single multi-specialty viewer to access images from radiology, cardiology, and other image intensive areas from multiple departments, with no additional software downloads required on the viewing device.

Covenant HealthCare Information Technology director Keith Grantham said iConnect Access integrates directly with their existing image archive to display any image, anywhere, at any time.

Merge Healthcare CEO Jeff Surges said by being able to deliver those images faster and by providing access to that content, their iConnect solution enables physicians to diagnose patients and provide better care.
