SonoSite Participating in HIMSS Interoperability Showcase
BOTHELL, WA – April 2, 2009 – SonoSite, Inc. (Nasdaq:SONO), the world leader and specialist in hand-carried ultrasound for the point-of-care, will demonstrate its latest advances in connectivity and workflow integration technology on the SonoSite Turbo™ platform, during the Healthcare Information and Management System Society (HIMSS) 2009 Conference. The conference is being held in Chicago at McCormick Place, April 4-8th.
As a participant at the HIMSS’ Interoperability Showcase, SonoSite will conduct live demonstrations on its M-Turbo® system to show how it communicates with multiple DICOM® compliant products to expedite workflow. Both the M-Turbo and S Series™ product lines support the following DICOM functions: Storage Commitment, Modality Performed Procedure Step (MPPS), Modality Work List (MWL), Print and Archive.
SonoSite’s participation in the HIMSS exhibit is based on its success at the 2009 North America Connectathon, in February, when SonoSite passed a series of tests that successfully demonstrated its versatile communication capabilities.
“SonoSite’s expanded connectivity options provide a flexible and robust solution for seamlessly connecting ultrasound to the medical information environment,” said David Prager, Manager, Hospital Infrastructure Technology (HIT) at SonoSite. “Our goal is to simplify physician’s workflow by automating scheduling and archiving activities for images and data collected during the exam.”
