Expert View™ is used by some of the most prestigious centers of excellence across the United States to facilitate compliant online opinions to patients outside the hospital's local geography, enabling more patients access to specialized care.

Purview's Expert View™ software is most commonly used to digitize and streamline the online second opinion process, but some hospitals also use it for pre-surgical screening, peer-to-peer consultations, and other unique applications. The common thread being that through technology, specialized medical expertise can be shared faster and without burdening the patient to travel in-person, while simultaneously extending a hospital's brand to new geographies. It's a win for all involved.

Horos, a free medical image viewer for Mac computers, is used around the world by over half a million (500,000) users in over 170 countries due to its powerful capabilities, ease of use, and free price point.

Over the years, we've worked with countless imaging facilities, radiologists, researchers, and other experts to share medical records electronically with Purview Image™. Their feedback has provided invaluable insight into ways we can continuously improve on the Purview Image ™ solution. Some of our users have discussed gaining even greater efficiencies by sharing multiple image studies of a patient in one electronic link or email at a time. 

This week, we are covering exactly that - the Purview Image™ multi-share feature! Learn how you can reduce the number of steps it takes to grant someone access to a case with multi-study sharing.

Over the past decade, we've found that the amount of medical images and other records that are being shared electronically has exponentially increased from a combination of improved cloud computing capabilities and the market's desire for data mobility. The 2020 pandemic spurred further innovation and adoption, as physicians and patients all over the world required digital solutions to function. As the adoption of electronic sharing grows, both physicians and patients benefit from increased access to medical records and reduced lead time. There are a few ways to share studies electronically, but some are more efficient than others. 

Physicians wear many hats, including serving as educators and researchers. Since medical images can be invaluable during presentations, Purview Image™ is often used by these physicians and their staff to collect, store, and access cases for subsequent review. Purview Image™ has also been used by large health systems to conduct major research initiatives because the platform easily grants users the ability to collaborate remotely and securely back up files within a HIPAA compliant, cloud-based system.
