Merge Healthcare, a provider of health IT interoperability solutions, has expanded its existing software relationship with Fysicon, the Dutch distributor of medical imaging solutions for radiology and cardiology.

Fysicon will customize Merge solutions to improve its specific portfolio of image management products for the BeNeLux market.

The Merge solution will improve EVOCS, a web based application that allows to exchange information and medical images in a safe, secure, quick and effective manner, by adding in more image review tools and a zero client footprint.

Fysicon will introduce the customized new viewer under the name EVOCS Advanced Web viewer.

In addition, Fysicon is working with Merge on bringing a VNA (Vendor Neutral Archive) option to EVOCS, which would provide customers with image storage capabilities that stretch across radiology and cardiology systems.

Merge CEO Jeff Surges said having an agile and successful partner like Fysicon invest in the Merge solutions, which they sell directly under the iConnect Access, iConnect VNA and iConnect Kiosk brands, is a further testament to the power of this solution set.
