Ensure secure medical image exchange and storage
HIPAA compliant, with layers of security to safeguard Protected Health Information (PHI).
Stephanie Lahr, MD, CHCIO, CIO, and CMIO at Regional Health, explains how Nuance PowerShare enables quick and efficient image sharing across a large geographical region.
Today’s challenges:
- 14% of medical imaging is redundant costing $20 billion in wasted resources
- CD creation and shipping can cost up to $15-$35 per disk
- CD and hard copy film management is time intensive due to corrupt disks and incompatible formats
PowerShare Image Sharing:
- Eliminates duplicate patient testing, imaging and examinations
- Optimizes CD management and helps you phase out hard copy film and other outmoded image transfer technology
- Is efficient and easy-to-use for healthcare professionals and patients
PowerShare Image Sharing provides you with unique workflow automation capabilities. You can further streamline the medical imaging exchange process by creating custom automated routing rules, sending images to one or multiple locations based on physician preferences or exam type.
In addition, images captured using the PowerShare Image Sharing mobile app are also subject to user-defined rules and can be automatically routed to a VNA or PACS.
Immediate access to digital medical images and reports via integrated clinical viewers, provides more insight for referring physicians for faster, better-informed care decisions. It also eliminates unnecessary repeat exams and associated radiation exposure and removes the hassles associated with physical image sharing.
The money saved with more efficient CD management can help offset declining reimbursements and other costs. Our highly scalable network also helps you increase referrals by strengthening relationships with referring physicians, other healthcare organizations and patients within your community.
Longer term, as providers shift to patient-centric care, your organization will be well prepared to explore the revenue possibilities of emerging care delivery models.
Collaborate
Access and share medical imaging with your growing network
Our medical imaging solution was designed to fill all needs across the continuum of care, while helping you build a community dedicated to accountability. Now embedded image viewers enhance clarity with new image review tools available to the clinician.
No matter where diagnostic images, reports or documents originate, the secure exchange of both traditional and non-traditional imaging is as intuitive as managing email.
Users can access and upload DICOM studies and images taken on non-DICOM devices such as wound care photos or older vintage ophthalmic images and share JPEG, TIFF and PDF files just like any other image.

Secure
Fully secure and compliant medical imaging exchange and storage
Security is at the heart of our medical imaging solution and we’re meticulous when it comes to protecting the integrity and privacy of patient data.
PowerShare Image Sharing supports an organization's compliance with HIPAA and HITECH utilizing a highly secure SOC2 Type II data center.
In addition, we work closely with clients to ensure their unique privacy and security needs are met.
Our security layers start with a detailed Service Agreement and Business Associate Agreement (BAA) that safeguard Protected Health Information (PHI) from unauthorized disclosure or misuse. These agreements also help you comply with your HIPAA obligations.
Other security features include:
- Intrusion detection and intrusion prevention systems
- Full-system audit trails
- Secure user authentication
- Sophisticated access control methodologies
- Image compression and data integrity checks
Our system is fortified by sophisticated firewall architecture, strong data encryption assuring a similar or higher level of security than any industry-standard VPN, rigorous member verification and strict user authentication—protecting against loss, unauthorized use or compromise.
Unlike most medical imaging solutions today, our platform has an advanced, secure communication network already built into the infrastructure, eliminating the need for VPNs. It can be implemented as an easy-to-download software agent or simply run in “zero-footprint” mode inside your browser.
Full redundancy throughout the system architecture supports business continuity and high availability to ensure that medical images and reports are accessible whenever needed.
