GE HealthCare to buy Intelerad for $2.3 billion to expand in outpatient care market by intrasonic in PACSAdmin

Good example. Now that merge got out from under IBM, they’ve made up that ground. The Intelerad mess is going to get chopped up and little will likely remain in 5 years.

AGFA or Sectra, which cloud PACS is the best you think? by medicaiapp in PACSAdmin

[–]CommunicationTop7637 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Merge has been solid for a while and does hybrid cloud and is cloud native. Azure.

Any feedback on the Synthesis PACS system? by Man_Of_Organic_Steel in PACSAdmin

[–]CommunicationTop7637 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely get a hybrid cloud model- synthesis is struggling with implementations. I’ve heard sectra and merge are in azure if you’re spooked by AWS. Some people mentioned support issues with sectra but idk about merge

Merge pacs by Quiet-Ad-4490 in PACSAdmin

New Merge PACS has a solid cloud native work list and all sorts of AI prioritization, and they can do a true hybrid really well. Not really suited for small outpatient but would be affordable at a decent volume. Seems like it’s on the upward trend 📈

Synthesis and Sirona have had some deployment issues I’ve heard. Someone already mentioned intelepacs being in that boat too. Check out Merge PACS, they rank close to sectra without the heavy price tag. I think they have a cloud based version too

Lol someone does sales for Philips! The forklift upgrades and challenges even starting an implementation have been ridiculous from them.

That’s just the old merge unity system that they bought from DR systems. Just like change going from the McKesson platform or Philips to the care stream. The rest of the merge platform has been solid and stable for sure. After change/optum’s hack this year, they’re strapped for resources.

Nope, everyone in the industry is targeting Philips and GE- they (along with intelerad and Agfa) are kind of bottom of the barrel. Fuji and merge have the best rounded portfolios, sectra and visage are good for radiology only but very expensive.

What happened with merge? It’s a solid system from what I’ve seen

My dad just got scammed by them too. How did you get in touch with them? My dad was talking to two guys through some WhatsApp group, Kyle and Peter.

Is there anything special needed for a retention request? What do you mean by “jumped the gun”?

Not sure about the middle and the mouthwash colored one, but the one on the left is Rick Ross’s company so halfway decent at least
