One of the trends you'll hear about at HIMSS16 is interoperability. We are in the perfect to share our thoughts on this important term because our Synapse VNA® solution connects seamlessly with other systems.

What is interoperability? 
Over 1,300 exhibitors will join the show floor in Las Vegas to check out healthcare IT providers' latest innovations. Fujifilm stands out because our VNA is unlike any other - it features true interoperability. Synapse is the leader in the VNA market due to the way it connects with multiple clinical IT environments, from RIS and HIS to EMR and PACS. Synapse VNA manages this data and communications with other programs to promote efficiency between departments, sites and facilities. Healthcare providers no longer need multiple programs to store, archive and transfer patient records and imaging - they can turn to Synapse VNA, which manages all these transactions while still maintaining the original quality of the data. Simplifying these interactions gives hospital and clinical staff more time to focus on fulfilling patient needs instead of managing paperwork.

Interoperability at HIMSS16
Chief Technology Officer of Stella Technology, Lin Wan, Ph.D., shared that over the past decade, healthcare organizations have concentrated on setting the groundwork for interoperability. VNAs place great emphasis on data security, messaging and transference. Achieving interoperability must be done in a manner that protects patient confidentiality as well as the healthcare provider. To truly utilize VNA systems to their full potential, electronic health record data exchange must be available everywhere.

Key healthcare players have been using VNA and other imaging solutions to contribute to providing improved patient outcomes, better ROI and also the creation of more robust health IT systems. Existing programs will evolve based on such information, transforming the way healthcare information is stored and shared.
