NucleusHealth’s image management platform, Nucleus.io, is a cloud-based picture archiving communications system that runs on Azure, Microsoft’s cloud computing platform. Nucleus.io offers healthcare facilities a set of modular solutions, all of which run in a web browser, so clinicians can view and exchange medical images.

Mercy Health recently completed its implementation of NucleusHealth’s cloud-based image exchange solution across its 23 hospitals, leading Microsoft to recognize the health system with its innovation award in March.

“The technology is cost-effective and helps us meet patient and provider requests for imaging quickly and efficiently,” Mike Hibbard, vice president of IT, applications and service delivery at Mercy Health, said in a news release.

NucleusHealth will continue to operate as an independent company, but will work with Mercy Health to develop features and workflows for its browser-based radiology workstation and cloud-based storage and processing solutions.
