Medicom Technologies, Inc. ^Company

Exchanging medical images is an important process in the continuity of a patient’s care. Without effective bi-directional image exchange, patients are at risk for repeat exams, delays in care, and become subject to operational inefficiencies. With rising costs and waning reimbursements, duplication of radiology exams due to inaccessible prior images is no longer sustainable. In addition, repeat exams leave patients frustrated and exposed to excess radiation. Medicom is working to untangle these challenges by serving the medical community with new, innovative software technology. By providing immediate access to diagnostic images and reports at all points of care, Medicom helps providers focus on patients. Medicom operates its network cleanly and efficiently and is accessible to providers, referrers, patients, health systems, ACOs, HIEs, and payors. Medicom is years ahead of the solutions in today’s marketplace: CD-ROMs require handling physical media, VPNs are difficult to maintain, and cloud solutions require creating an expensive unnecessary copy of images in a potentially vulnerable cloud. Medicom’s federated design makes it easy and cost effective to move diagnostic images and radiology reports, thereby, lowering cost and increasing throughput where it means adding value to care. Medicom is leading the way towards reducing cost and increasing the quality of care by introducing new, innovative technologies. Medicom was created by three NC State undergraduate students in 2015, Michael Rosenberg, Malcolm Benitz, and Chase Ballard. They set out on a mission to improve patient outcomes by bridging the gap between medicine and communications technology. Michael, Malcolm, and Chase dealt with the consequences of outdated communication methodologies in medicine, first hand, and are pushing to advance communications technology in medicine. Medicom is committed to building technology that helps providers, hospitals, and health systems deliver coordinated care.
