Illinois-based Elmhurst Memorial Healthcare has chosen Merge Healthcare's Merge Cardio and Merge Hemo solutions for its new hospital.

Merge Cardio is an enterprise cardiology image and information management system designed to optimize the complex cardiology workflow.

Merge Hemo is a knowledge tool for the cardiac cath lab that integrates data collection, waveform analysis, inventory control, patient charging, and procedure reporting.

Elmhurst Memorial Healthcare CIO and vice president Charles Colander said Merge’s cardiology solutions provide complete functionality with imaging, reporting and EKG while integrating with all of our modality devices..

Besides cardiology solutions, Merge is set to introduce iConnect, an integrated software suite that facilitates the sharing of diagnostic content and results across the continuum of care.

iConnect Access is a zero-download viewer that provides diagnostic quality image review for referring physicians.
