Karos Health Introduces Rialto Keystone at RSNA 2011


Dynamic On-Demand Peer-to-Peer Exchange and Reporting

Karos Health, a leader in standards-based clinical information exchange and storage solutions, introduces Rialto Keystone at this year’s RSNA annual conference in Chicago. Rialto Keystone is a secure, on-demand and content-agnostic overlay communication infrastructure to enable the cross-enterprise sharing of clinical information.

The deployment and management of clinical information exchanges and Health Information Exchanges (HIEs) poses many challenges in terms of system identification, security, traffic optimization and analytics.

  • Devices and information systems are always changing in dynamic healthcare environments. Identifying and addressing many devices and systems is a laborious configuration task. Maintenance of application configuration for communication between the many different devices and information systems deployed should be minimized
  • Security is of the utmost importance when transferring sensitive patient information.  Secure transport of clinical information between many clinical devices, information systems and organizations should be simple and effective
  • Traffic optimization and analytics are necessary to create a sustainable business model for clinical information exchange and HIEs. Organizations require tools that provide greater understanding into how the network is utilized

Rialto Keystone addresses these challenges by providing powerful tools to simplify the deployment and management of exchange networks that scale to thousands of clinical information systems. Unlike VPNs, Rialto Keystone bridges these disparate sources dynamically and on-demand, enforcing application-specific access control policies.  Rialto Keystone is clinical data aware and understands industry protocols like DICOM, HL7 and IHE XDS and provides a set of powerful web-based reporting tools to visualize aggregated clinical information in the exchange network. Rialto Keystone’s cloud-based service provides administrators with the tools to manage their network centrally, and monitor clinical network activity.

Rialto Keystone will be demonstrated at the Karos Booth 7150 in the North Building – Hall B. Visit us at our booth to learn more about how Rialto Keystone solves real clinical interoperability challenges for healthcare providers and HIEs and how Karos makes access and sharing of clinical information easy and secure.

“Rialto Keystone is a game changer in how clinical information exchanges are deployed and managed. Rialto Keystone is a simple, seamless and highly scalable solution to increase sustainable business value that allows exchange networks and HIEs to deliver upon their promises.” says Rick Stroobosscher, President of Karos Health. “Rialto Keystone leverages all the capabilities of the Rialto platform and provides the tools to simplify the deployment and management of clinical exchange networks, making it possible to build exchange networks with thousands of systems.” he added.
