PilotFish Interface Exchange (PIE)

Implementing the DICOM file format has never been easier.
In order to successfully integrate with today's healthcare information systems, payers, providers, labs and software solutions must implement the DICOM standard. Not only is the DICOM file format widely adopted by medical systems and devices, it is mandated in the rapidly evolving regulatory landscape.

The XCS eiConsole for Healthcare provides a set of rapidly configurable, reusable components targeted at addressing the unique challenges of DICOM integration. This add-on product takes your productivity to the next level, offering you a pre-fabricated interface template for the DICOM file format.

This interface offers a DICOM interface template and demonstration intended to support the integration of systems using the DICOM file format as described in the implementation guide: "HL7 Standard for CDA® Release 2: Imaging Integration; Basic Imaging Reports in CDA and DICOM". This file format is used by a healthcare provider to produce or read medical images.
