Merge Healthcare’s OEM applications and toolkits improve the process of transferring diagnostic data and images, and support integration of data from imaging procedures into broader health IT applications. These solutions provide an advanced start to software development, and are quietly inside many of today’s health IT systems.

Our Surgical Management Solutions provide enhanced workflow for the entire surgery experience. Our customers, from the largest outpatient center chains to rural hospitals, have relied on Merge to bring them the solutions and services needed to run clinically and financially successful businesses.

Merge Healthcare’s eClinical business unit, recently added through the acquisition of etrials Worldwide Inc., provides adaptive web-based tools that coordinate to transform data into intelligence and speed the path to an actionable study endpoint for clinical trials.
