Case Study: HealtheConnections accelerates access to diagnostic images with eHealth Technologies

HealtheConnections saves more than $140,000 a month with eHealth Technologies

HealtheConnections, a health information exchange (HIE) operating in New York, faced the challenge of providing its users with timely access to patient diagnostic images. Their previous process relied on inefficient methods like phone calls, mailing CDs, and manual uploads, which caused significant delays in patient care. To solve this, they partnered with eHealth Technologies to implement the eHealth Connect Image Exchange service.

The solution from eHealth Technologies provided a seamless, automated platform for sharing diagnostic-quality images. This eliminated the need for physical media and manual reconciliation, giving caregivers immediate access to a patient's complete imaging history. The results were dramatic, reducing image transfer times from days to hours. The partnership has delivered incredible value, saving participants an estimated $140,000 per month in operational costs and enabling the transfer of approximately 14,000 imaging studies monthly.
