We're in the planning stages now to integrate EPIC Kaleidoscope with MERGE Eye Care PACS. For anyone currently using EPIC/MERGE, are any of you sending orders directly to MERGE ECP [full on HL7 implementation, not just demographics or HTML Jump]? Would love to talk with you if you are! -----Original Message----- From: optimal-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:optimal-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Verdick, Randall E Sent: Thursday, September 05, 2013 2:26 PM To: optimal@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [optimal] Re: OIS/Merge and EPIC EMR We have EPIC and Merge here. Be prepared to have issues of "epic" proportions (pun intended). We have an OIS tab in EPIC, but it doesen't do anything? It has been 2 years and we are still tweaking it.

Our hospital is going EPIC. In 2014 We'll go Merge/Axis/Forum. Jury is still out Assuming there will be a tab/button in EPIC as a portal to the other ophthalmology PACS. D.

I am curious how it is integrated. Feel free to contact me off the list.
