Logicalis, Inc. To Exhibit At HIMSS - Booth #7467

    COLUMBUS, OH, February 25, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Who: Logicalis, Inc., an international provider of integrated information and communications technology (ICT) solutions and services based in Bloomfield Hills, MI, will exhibit at HIMSS 2010.

Where: HIMSS Booth #7467

When: March 1st through 4th, 2010

What: Logicalis' theme at HIMSS is "Getting To Meaningful Use - Faster, Smarter." At HIMSS, Logicalis' healthcare solution team will be on hand to help healthcare IT managers get a carrot and avoid the stick. The carrot is represented by billions of dollars in stimulus funds for hospitals and other healthcare organizations that achieve meaningful use of electronic health record (EHR) technology starting in 2011, under the 2009 American Recovery & Reinvestment Act (ARRA). The stick is a penalty for noncompliance, resulting in reductions to Medicaid and Medicare reimbursements starting in 2015. Managing data has been seen as one of the key obstacles to EHR success, but at HIMSS, Logicalis and its partners will be ready to explain the Enterprise Image Management Archive (EIMA) solution that will liberate hospitals from the constricting cycle of PACS data migrations and enable the sharing of images between hospitals and clinics regardless of their internal systems.

Having a strategic plan for managing image data that allows healthcare organizations to image-enable their EHR is not only key to "meaningful use," but also critical to reducing the cost to the healthcare system.
