Karos Health Connects Diagnostic Imaging with Health Information Exchanges


Karos Health, a leader in clinical information exchange software facilitating collaboration between healthcare providers, today introduces Rialto for Diagnostic Imaging, a ready-made solution built on Karos’ Rialto, a proven platform for clinical information exchange. Rialto for Diagnostic Imaging makes it simple to publish, discover, and retrieve diagnostic information across healthcare institutions and communities, giving healthcare providers seamless and secure access to patients’ complete medical records.

“Medical images and diagnostic reports are essential to clinical information exchange, and are often not communicated efficiently between healthcare providers” says Rick Stroobosscher, President of Karos Health. “Rialto for Diagnostic Imaging makes it easy for imaging information systems such as RIS and PACS to participate in collaborative exchange networks based on standards, resulting in more efficient care delivery and better quality of patient care.”

Rialto for Diagnostic Imaging facilitates a patient-centric view of the complete medical record with minimal disruption to existing healthcare processes and workflows. Rialto for Diagnostic Imaging includes Rialto Navigator our ultra-thin web viewing environment, giving healthcare professionals access to the information they need anywhere, anytime.

With Rialto for Diagnostic Imaging, providers performing imaging studies can:

  • Securely access prior diagnostic studies and the complete patient record from their existing imaging desktop application, improving decision making and reducing unnecessary duplicate tests;
  • Share results immediately with their referring base and the community, shortening time to diagnosis and reduce waiting lists;
  • Participate in large collaborative health information exchanges, publishing and retrieving information from imaging data repositories within the exchange network, allowing for more efficient healthcare processes and better quality of patient care.

“Rialto for Diagnostic Imaging is an ideal bridge to XDS-enable legacy and new RIS or PACS systems.” adds Rick Stroobosscher. Rialto for Diagnostic Imaging provides a simple and robust bridge between diagnostic imaging and the rest of the healthcare community. It is based on open standards and supports the Cross-Enterprise Document Sharing (XDS) and Cross-Enterprise Document Sharing for Imaging (XDS-I) integration profiles from Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE®). Rialto for Diagnostic Imaging fully complies with stringent privacy legislations and security requirements.
