Merge Healthcare recently announced the name of its North American direct business unit will be changed from Merge eMed to Merge Healthcare North America.
"The shift follows a significant reorganization initiative that has unfolded over the past few months to better align our cost and revenue structures, reduce operational redundancies across the organization, and optimize synergies and economies of scale from the 2005 merger," said Kenneth Rardin, Merge Healthcare CEO.
Merge Healthcare’s three business consist of Merge Healthcare North America, providing RIS, PACS and clinical applications and related services to hospitals, imaging centers and specialty clinics in North America; Merge Healthcare EMEA, providing RIS, PACS, clinical applications and electronic patient records in Europe, the Middle East and Africa; and Cedara Software, developers of innovative medical imaging software and custom-engineered solutions for the global OEM market.
