NCR Corp has teamed with LanVision Inc, Cincinnati, Ohio for joint marketing of Statview, an image-based medical records application. The five-year agreement makes LanVision an NCR Independent Software Vendor, receiving revenue credit for the software with NCR taking revenue credit for the hardware. Statview is the first application to be implemented on NCR’s Document Management System for high volume document imaging. It consists of an NCR System 3000 Unix server, laser printers, scanners, optical disk units, and an NCR-enhanced Plexus developer’s toolset from Recognition Equipment Inc as the system software. The Statview application was developed in conjunction with medical records personnel from 16 of the largest hospitals in Ohio and surrounding states. LanVision’s first installation is the 450-bed University of Cincinnati Medical Centre, where it is currently installing the first phase of a $2.5m contract to implement image-based medical records hospital-wide, and the contract is of the avearge size the partners expect for the system. The marketing agreement also incorporates NCR’s Access 2000 communications tools, which provide simultaneous windows into other hospital systems and into remote doctors’ surgeries for results reporting or patient demographics.
