    Merge at HIMSS

    It’s been a busy spring. A few weeks ago I was in Las Vegas with the Merge team for HIMSS, and by the time you’re reading this we’ll be back in Chicago for ACC. 

    Events like these are opportunities for us to chat face-to-face about the most pressing challenges your teams are facing, how Merge is helping you to overcome those roadblocks, and what more we can be doing to keep innovating and meeting your goals.  

    I was energized by the excitement I felt around these conversations at HIMSS and I’m looking forward to seeing many of you at the Merge User Conference coming up in June! 

    Upgrade to the latest Merge PACS 

    Are you currently on an earlier version of Merge PACS? If so, you’re missing out on the many clinical, administrative, and technical improvements that Merge PACS 9.0 and later have brought to the table over the past year, including: 

    • Batch processing that allows PACS administrators to perform multiple functions for multiple studies at the same time (Assign, Reserve, Update, Route).  
    • Mammography viewing enhancements, including maximum zoom for breast image display across viewports, and enabling users to display selected views in 2X1 layout without configuration.  
    • Merge PACS on cloud through direct launch or Merge Workflow Orchestrator. 
    • Separate unviewed image warnings between mammography and other modalities, providing greater flexibility for clinicians to identify when images haven’t been read.   

    And much more. If you haven’t already, now is the time to consider an upgrade to the latest Merge PACS so that your team can begin reaping these benefits, too. Reach out to your Merge representative to get started!

    Tuesdays with Merge 

    One of the perks of being a Merge user is Tuesdays with Merge, a complimentary educational series designed specifically for Merge customers and partners wanting to learn more about optimizing their imaging investments -- from the product experts and from each other. The sessions calendar has been refreshed for April and May, covering topics such as implementation best practices, the benefits of Merge’s early adopter and early evaluator programs, and success stories from other users on how Merge helped execute enterprise imaging strategies, AI-driven caseload efficiencies, and departmental productivity for radiology and cardiology teams.
