Bradley,
 
I swear I'm not trying to be a jerk or a smart aleck but I couldn't help but
laugh when I read about the Tesla not using any fossil fuels. Unless you
guys plug it into a freestanding solar or wind farm that is completely off
the electricity grid,  you all are using fossil fuels to charge the battery,
:-).

Subject: [optimal] OIS is now Merge Healthcare- Vendor Posting



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
