Merge Healthcare said 11 Radiology practices have selected its Merge's radiology information system - RIS v7.0 to attain Meaningful Use.

Merge RIS v 7.0 can capture all necessary and relevant patient information without disrupting the traditional radiology workflow.

Merge RIS v 7.0 incorporates meaningful use functionality including ePrescribing, enhanced reporting which aids physicians to automatically trend clinical data and report on meaningful use measures, new clinical decision support, the clinical exchange of health information and a patient portal that empowers patients to access their records at their convenience.

Radiology Consultants practice administrator Melissa Ray said in addition to Merge RIS v7.0, they will utilize Merge PACS, Merge Financials, Merge Dashboards and Merge iConnect Access.

"And now, not only will we be able to take advantage of the stimulus incentives available for achieving Meaningful Use, but more importantly, we’ll be able to improve productivity and workflow efficiencies," Ray said.
