GE Healtcare HIS-RIS Link Field Guide for AMX Navigate X-Ray Machine
Effortless Workflow HIS/RIS Link
- The HIS/RIS Link feature provides a Windows® environment via a virtual machine on the AMX Navigate operating system. Hospitals can install software in the Windows environment or open an internet browser to enable user access to HIS/RIS, EMR, and/or PACS directly from the X-ray system.
- Sites are free to configure the Windows environment within the virtual machine, as long as the validated major Windows version, Windows 10, supports the configuration.
Feature Overview
The HIS/RIS Link feature provides access to a facility’s HIS/RIS, EMR, and/or
PACS software directly from the AMX Navigate user interface. This feature
enables a technologist to complete actions in those hospital applications,
such as remotely start, close, and complete HIS/RIS exams from the portable.
System Architecture: Linux-based OS provides added security
