Taking advantage of World Wide Web
technologies, OpenMed™ Viewer provides browser-based
access to multimedia Electronic Telemedicine Records
(ETR). OpenMed™ Viewer's ETRs present information
gathered from a wide range of sources and can contain
multi-modality study information, such as radiology,
pathology, ultrasound, dermatology, and ophthalmology
as well as written reports, scanned documents, voice
memos, and video clips.
OpenMed™
Viewer uses standard web browsers, allowing enterprise
deployment in the healthcare environment across existing
suitable desktop hardware or from laptops via remote
dial-up connection. Using OpenMed™ Viewer consulting
and referring physicians can review cases, view results,
and generate reports online. A sophisticated search
system ensures that name, Medical Record Number, specialty,
examination date and many other criteria can be used
to locate simply and rapidly a patient's medical record,
imaging studies, and diagnostic reports.
OpenMe™
Viewer is extended by the optional Image Manipulation
Applet (IMA). IMA is a JAVA applet, which adds image
enhancement and manipulation. It provides features commonly
found only on dedicated imaging workstations such as
window width and level control, zoom, pan and rotate
functions, as well as a 'magnifying glass' zoom feature
for a region of special interest. For color images,
the IMA supports color balance adjustment as well as
brightness and contrast control. With WorldCare Technologies
IMA, OpenMed™ Viewer becomes an extension to PACS
providing access to radiology images by physicians throughout
the hospital.
OpenMed™
Viewer connects to an OpenMed™ Manager server
that controls the flow of and access to information
on the network. To ensure security and confidentiality,
various user access and study restrictions can be enabled.
WorldCare Technologies' software maintains a directory
of authorized users, and uses encryption software at
the network layer.
