Industry news: AG Mednet, CompTIA, Eclipsys, McKesson
A new diagnostic exchange network company, AG Mednet, has launched into the market. The company’s technology enables hospitals and diagnostic imaging centers of all sizes to provide service to referring physicians. AG Mednet's technology provides image access from anywhere, and is enabled to serve pharmaceutical, biotech, device and clinical research organizations using imaging technology.
"The use of diagnostic imaging is increasing across nearly every facet of healthcare. On the clinical side, the number of radiologists qualified to interpret these scans has not kept pace and, on the research side, the volume of studies being sent through couriers is making their management very difficult," said Abraham Gutman, founder and CEO. "We founded AG Mednet to fill a real void in the market and change the face of medical imaging by making the exchange of diagnostic images as easy and ubiquitous as the dial tone.”
