EPR integration workflow

When IMPAX is integrated with an EPR application, a user searches for a patient using the EPR application, but views the study images in the IMPAX Image area. The IMPAX Client software must be installed on any computer that uses an EPR integration.

IMPAX can be integrated with an EPR application one of two ways:

• URL integration: Constructing a URL from your EPR application that includes the user and study identification, as well as other options, within the URL parameters. The URL requests that the Image area be displayed with the identified studies. The URL request is made using either a web browser or a command utility.

• Embedded integration: Creating an instance of the IMPAX Client, embedding it within your application, and calling the public API to authenticate an EPR user and display studies.

The typical workflow for a URL integration is:

1. A user logs into the EPR application.

2. From within the EPR application, the user requests that a study be displayed.

3. The EPR application creates a URL which requests that the study be displayed.

4. The Image area of the IMPAX Client opens and displays the requested study.

The typical workflow for an embedded integration is:

1. A user logs into the EPR application.

2. The IMPAX Client Image area opens with a "No Images Available" message.

3. From within the EPR application, the user requests that a study be displayed.

4. The EPR application uses .NET to request that the study be displayed.

5. The Image area of the IMPAX Client displays the requested study.
