Oregon Community Imaging, LLC (OCI) was established in 2008 as a cooperative partnership among community healthcare organizations to improve how medical imaging data is shared and communicated in the care and treatment of patients. OCI represents a modern change in direction from historic radiology data transfer practices in order to provide physician offices with immediate, online access to a patient’s medical information. It accomplishes this through a state of the art, independent and secure data network and collaborative healthcare partnerships.
If you are currently producing digital medical images or are considering the purchase of a modern CT, MRI or mammography system, then you are familiar with the need to archive and view these images with a picture archive and communications system (PACS).
Operating and supporting and independent PACS requires a significant capital investment as well as an investment in technical support staff to maintain the system. As an alternative to operating an independent and fragmented PACS system, OCI provides the opportunity for organizations producing digital medical images to collaborate and share a system resulting in more efficient healthcare delivery throughout the community and improved services to providers and their patients.
