Konica Minolta Healthcare Americas has entered a strategic partnership with Apollo Enterprise Imaging to offer an enterprisewide clinical workflow solution augmenting the Exa Platform, an integrated PACS, RIS and billing solution with a single database across all modules.

Exa Platform customers will now benefit from interoperability and connectivity enabling every clinical department throughout the enterprise to securely acquire, manage, and access all clinical content through arcc, the Apollo Repository for Clinical Content.

The partnership will unite all patient information across clinical specialties, including from non-DICOM devices, for a longitudinal, image-enabled medical record.

Konica Minolta and Apollo are collaborating with AWS for the cloud-based integration of the Exa Platform and arcc using AWS HealthImaging (AHI). Utilizing AWS’ AHI services allows Konica Minolta and Apollo to focus on delivering production workflow software and clinical functionality for imaging customers with AHI managing the infrastructure, including Platform as a Service (PaaS).

"Our partnership with Apollo brings together two industry-leading Healthcare IT solution providers with a shared vision of interoperability, enabling our customers with seamless access to all their clinical data," said Kevin Chlopecki, chief operating officer, Konica Minolta Healthcare HCIT. "With Apollo and Konica Minolta having an existing partnership with AWS, customers benefit from a unified cloud platform ensuring high performance, reliability, security and scalability."

arcc serves as a cornerstone for health systems, managing clinical workflows that cannot be handled by a VNA or viewer alone. arcc facilitates the organization and accessibility of medical imaging data and digital asset management across multiple image generating departments. By consolidating image viewing onto a unified interface, arcc streamlines clinical workflows, enhances efficiency, and fosters seamless collaboration throughout the healthcare ecosystem.
