Hi Optimal Folks,
As a vendor, we appreciate being allowed to observe and we are careful to post
infrequently and only when it seems warranted. We think posting at this time
seems appropriate- to update the community in the exciting changes taking place
at OIS.
In August of 2011, Merge Healthcare (MRGE) fully acquired OIS, along with the
OIS subsidiaries Abraxas Medical, OIS Global (Israel) and OIS Europe (Belgium).
Merge Healthcare is a leading provider of enterprise imaging and
interoperability solutions. Merge solutions facilitate the sharing of images
to improve the electronic healthcare experience. Merge provides solutions for
radiology, cardiology, orthopaedics, eye care, clinical trials, financial and
pre-surgical management; electronic health record and practice management
solutions; applications that fuel the largest modality vendors in the world,
and a network of patient-centric, wellness stations.
Some of the vendors in the ophthalmic space use DICOM development toolkits
provided by Merge.
While there have been many changes, like all the orange, many things have
stayed the same. The majority of eye care solutions team, including sales,
product, support, field service, (yes Mick Clark and Andy May and the rest of
the team) and project management became employees of Merge Healthcare.
Together, we continue to work hard in the delivery of the service and products
we have been known for over the 28 years that OIS has been in this industry.
While we have decided to discontinue the handheld Eye Scan unit, our WinStation
image capture product, now known by the name Merge Eye Station continues, and
we have launched a new model at this past AAO. Our Symphony Web product is
now called Merge Eye Care PACS Viewer. The branding transition will continue
to other areas of the product as we have normal scheduled software releases;
and new features are on the horizon for all the product lines that are quite
exciting.
We look forward to continuing to serve this community, wearing orange ties,
displaying an orange Tesla in our booth at AAO, and most especially with an
invigorated innovative approach that challenges competitors, and serves the Eye
Care Community. Why the Tesla by the way? Good question- At Merge, we believe
there is no problem the Healthcare community faces, that cannot be solved when
the right minds, converge, with innovation, and a drive to make it happen. The
Tesla represents that spirit, accelerating from 0-60 in under 4 seconds, with a
top speed of over 100mph, while not using any fossil fuels.
If you arrive at AAO early enough, you might catch us driving it through the
exhibit hall before all the freight arrives. (Ok, not really)
Finally, I want to answer the question that prompted the note- We do offer the
FAF solution, in its second generation, as we did before.
Thanks for the forum and opportunity to update you all.
Warm Regards,
Bradley Yates
