BEDFORD, Mass., Feb. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Aware, Inc. (Nasdaq: AWRE), a global provider of imaging and biometrics software, today announced it will demonstrate standards compliance and interoperability of its medical image sharing products as a participant in the HIMSS10 Interoperability Showcase. The Showcase is part of the HIMSS10 Annual Conference & Exhibition taking place in Atlanta from March 1-4, 2010.
Aware will demonstrate its AccuRad ImageShare™ Platform, a standards-based solution for fast and efficient compression, streaming, and viewing of images in electronic health records (EHR) in cross-enterprise health information exchange (HIE) systems. Its client and server components enable users with fast access to diagnostic-quality images across multiple enterprises over constrained networks.
"Participating in the showcase allows us an opportunity to demonstrate the compliance and functionality of our solution by interoperating with other standards-based products from a variety of vendors," said Patricia Katzman, strategic marketing, medical software at Aware. "Healthcare and IT professionals will see that products are available today that enable access to patient image data across local, regional, and national health information exchanges to support meaningful, secure use of electronic health records."
About HIMSS10 Interoperability Showcase
The HIMSS10 Interoperability Showcase will incorporate the initial, proposed metrics of Meaningful Use of electronic health records and other systems as part of its real-time demonstrations. Attendees can track their EHR and PHR through the Showcase, designed as a HIMSS HIE-based environment. This interactive exhibit offers a realistic look at complex healthcare scenarios where different organizations and agencies incorporate interoperability into their products. These scenarios use the standards-based Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) framework and Specifications of the Healthcare Information Technology Standards Panel (HITSP), recognized and accepted by the Department of Health and Human Services.
