PurviewⓇ has a range of products designed to improve access to medical image viewing software, make it easy to securely share and store all types of medical records and connect patients to better care.

Amid the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, many healthcare institutions are seeing an opportunity to create formal remote second opinion (RSO) programs. Building and operating one can be complex, but some hospitals are already leading the way.
Suppose a specialist physician in California is corresponding with a patient in Texas who has an urgent illness. The physician wants to schedule an emergency appointment, but needs to review the patient's medical imaging studies to properly confirm and address the diagnosis. The patient could send a CD hard copy of their studies through the mail, but this is costly and wastes valuable time. The CD could also get lost in transit or arrive to the physician broken or unreadable.
If you work in health care, you need to protect the data in your picture archiving and communication system. It's critical to have good data backups because losing protected health information (PHI), including images, could be detrimental to your practice or hospital.
A full, consistent schedule is the bread and butter of any successful medical practice. Patients who miss their appointments, no-shows and last-minute cancellations can have a huge impact on your practice’s financial health.
