CLINICAL RESEARCH

Rely on the flexible architecture trusted by the NIH

Synapse VNA’s hierarchical, organizational architecture is ideal for a wide array of clinical research initiatives, as proven by its long-term reliance by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Our VNA supports study deidentification by removing and/or modifying PHI within the DICOM header. With a single database environment, Synapse VNA also provides the flexibility to operate as multiple, specialty-specific VNAs, giving each department complete control of their preferred encounters-based workflows, data storage locations, access controls, image lifecycle management, and so much more.

Support encounters-based intelligent workflows

Synapse VNA’s Connext Workflow Solutions automate the process of capturing multi-media content, associating it with the patient record, and making it available to those who need it through the electronic health record (EHR) or enterprise viewer. The Connext Mobile app is ideal for capturing audio and visual content directly at the point-of-care:

Classifies content as sensitive or restricted at the point-of-capture
Enhances security with biometric credentials, encrypted transmission, and deletion of all PHI post-upload
Organizes the patient worklist and folders for easier comparison
Integrates with EHR mobile apps for seamless patient content sharing
Available with iOS and Android
