Lexmark Buys Acuo Technologies–Software to Connect to PACS Systems and More To EMRs

This side of the business has certainly grown as I remember the early days and there’s still a lot of this that goes on to get paper information scanned and connected to an EMR to reference.  As a matter of fact many offices did this to to have not go back and pull out older paper charts, a great idea and system.  Now we are at the Enterprise level with bringing  in imaging to connect which again makes sense.  It’s all about the indexing and connecting the relative patient data.  BD
