DICOM

Process imaging data quickly and at scale

Alongside clinical data, medical imaging plays a critical role in patient diagnosis and care. DICOM® (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) is the international standard to transmit, store, retrieve, print, process, and display medical imaging information. DICOM is important because it ensures that medical images meet quality standards.

Manage, store, query, retrieve, and exchange DICOM files in the cloud. Query metadata across clinical and imaging records to reduce time to diagnosis. Process medical imaging data into research cohorts quickly and at scale.

GetTech’s solution goes beyond simple extraction of DICOM images and metadata by transforming the data into a structured format that can support advanced workflows and applications. This enables the creation of web and mobile applications where clinical staff, physicians, and even patients can securely access imaging data in the cloud. For example, data from a diagnostic test or the process of a surgical intervention can be easily tracked and accessed, enhancing collaboration and improving patient care.

FHIR

Effortless FHIR Integration and Advanced Healthcare Data Management

The healthcare industry is quickly embracing FHIR® (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) as the universal standard for storing, querying, and exchanging health data. FHIR offers a flexible and scalable data model with standardized semantics, ensuring seamless interoperability across all FHIR-compliant systems.

The GetTech's solution allows you to quickly create and deploy a FHIR-based solution to the cloud for ingesting, persisting, and querying FHIR data. Additionally, we support the further development of your FHIR database to enable multi-tenant scenarios, ensuring that data can be securely shared with trusted partners. Our solution includes robust authorization mechanisms to safeguard sensitive information and ensure compliance, empowering you to maintain data security while fostering seamless collaboration across healthcare ecosystems.

Do you have a massive healthcare database and aren't sure how to manage it? No problem! With the power of AI and Advanced Analytics techniques, we identify, transform, enrich, and load your data into FHIR, ensuring it’s optimized for modern healthcare applications and ready for seamless integration into your workflows.

Compliance

Build your own solution on a trusted cloud for healthcare

Compliance is essential when storing Protected Health Information (PHI) to ensure patient privacy and data security. It helps healthcare organizations adhere to legal frameworks, such as HIPAA or GDPR, protecting them from penalties and legal risks. Compliance also mandates robust security measures, like encryption and access controls, to safeguard against data breaches and unauthorized access. By meeting these standards, organizations not only build patient trust but also ensure that PHI is used ethically and securely for patient care and research. Furthermore, compliance supports seamless data exchange between systems, enabling interoperability while maintaining strict security and privacy. In a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape, maintaining compliance is key to protecting sensitive data and preserving an organization’s reputation.

The GetTech's solution places significant emphasis on security and compliance, ensuring that every step of development aligns with these critical requirements. From the very beginning, our solutions are designed with compliance in mind, providing peace of mind to our clients. Built on Azure Health Data Services, our platform leverages certified technologies, ensuring adherence to the highest industry standards. This foundation enables us to deliver secure, reliable, and compliant healthcare solutions that protect sensitive data while supporting seamless integration and scalability.

Azure Health Data Services is HITRUST CSF certified, which helps organizations store PHI in accordance with HIPAA and GDPR requirements.

Standard

DICOM + FHIR, better together

Healthcare systems worldwide are rapidly moving their data to the cloud to enhance patient diagnosis, improve the quality of care, and drive transformative insights into how healthcare is delivered. This shift makes perfect sense, as cloud technology offers enhanced data security, reduced data management costs, and the power of machine learning. However, as health data enters the era of cloud computing, leading organizations have realized that the way data is brought into the cloud is critical. Maximizing the benefits of cloud computing isn’t just about migrating data in its current custom formats—it’s about leveraging the right tools to enrich and standardize the data during the transition, enabling greater utility and value once it’s in the cloud.

DICOM is specifically designed for managing, storing, and transmitting medical images, such as X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs, along with a protocol for transferring these images between systems. In contrast, FHIR is a standard for electronically exchanging broader healthcare information, including patient demographics, medical and dental histories, treatment plans, and other clinical data. While DICOM focuses on imaging data, FHIR provides a framework for representing a wide range of healthcare information in a standardized format.

GetTech’s Solution for Seamless DICOM to FHIR Data Conversion

GetTech offers a comprehensive solution to simplify and automate the conversion of healthcare data between the DICOM and FHIR standards, ensuring compatibility, accuracy, and usability. Here’s how we tackle the challenges:

  • From DICOM Files to FHIR Resources
    Our solution transforms DICOM files into FHIR-compatible resources such as Observation and ImagingStudy. We extract relevant imaging metadata, including modalities, study descriptions, and timestamps, and map these directly to FHIR fields, enabling seamless integration with existing healthcare systems.
  • Utilizing FHIR System Codes
    We leverage FHIR system codes to ensure consistent, standardized representation of data across systems. By mapping DICOM identifiers, such as study and series UIDs, to FHIR-compliant codes, we enable interoperability and ensure data can be used effectively across different healthcare applications.
  • Extracting and Representing Custom DICOM Attributes
    For DICOM attributes that are not directly supported by default FHIR fields, our solution identifies and extracts these custom attributes. We create extensions or map them into appropriate FHIR structures, ensuring that all critical data from the DICOM file is accurately represented in FHIR without losing context or specificity.
  • Linking Data to FHIR Patient Resources
    To provide a complete clinical view, we connect imaging data with the relevant FHIR Patient resources. Using identifiers such as patient IDs or demographic details from DICOM headers, we ensure that imaging data is securely linked to the correct patient records in FHIR, facilitating comprehensive patient care and analysis.

GetTech’s expertise and tools streamline the process of converting, mapping, and integrating DICOM and FHIR data, enabling healthcare providers to unlock the full potential of their data while maintaining compliance, security, and interoperability.

Data Analytics

Enhance patient care and research outcomes with actionable insights and advanced analytics.

Storing healthcare data in the cloud unlocks transformative possibilities for enhancing patient care and advancing research. This data becomes a valuable resource for innovation, enabling faster diagnoses, predictive insights, and improved decision-making.

Machine learning (ML) models can analyze clinical and imaging data to support more accurate diagnoses and improve radiology workflows. Through DICOM and FHIR integration, rapid feedback loops can be established, enabling continuous model improvement and collaboration with external AI solutions.

Predictive analytics allows healthcare providers to identify disease risks early, enabling preventive care and better patient outcomes. Additionally, normalized FHIR metadata streamlines complex queries, such as retrieving patient data across clinical and imaging systems, reducing the time needed for research cohort creation.

With advanced analytics, ML, and seamless data integration, healthcare organizations can transform raw data into actionable insights, improving care and driving innovation.

At GetTech, we have extensive experience in handling complex healthcare data standards like DICOM and FHIR. Our expertise enables us to seamlessly manage, integrate, and transform healthcare data, ensuring it is ready for advanced analytics or machine learning applications.
