Healthcare data management vendor BridgeHead Software and Dutch healthcare IT firm Forcare are teaming up.
The firms have agreed to market a package that integrates Bridgehead's vendor-neutral archive (VNA) with Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) cross-enterprise document sharing (XDS) components for health information exchange (HIE) from Forcare.
Available now, the joint offering provides a data management infrastructure for storing, protecting, and sharing all patient information, including medical images, clinical reports, scanned patient documents, and back-office files, BridgeHead and Forcare said. The companies believe their integrated product will have particular appeal to healthcare environments seeking to facilitate data sharing across sites, organizations, and/or regions.
BridgeHead and Forcare will market the combined offering to hospitals in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
