“Within an oncology setting, it’s important that physicians can easily access patient information, streamline collaboration amongst the care team and facilitate better patient and doctor communication in order to discuss the best course of treatment,” said Chris Sullivan, U.S. health provider industry solutions director, Microsoft. “The applications demonstrated by iLink are a prime example of how technology can help foster an interactive dialogue between the patient and their care team, by improving access to clinical data from both parties in a visual and intuitive setting.”

At HIMSS, iLink will present Microsoft’s interoperability capabilities at the IHE Interoperability Showcase. iLink experts will also demonstrate and answer questions about innovative healthcare solutions using the latest Microsoft technologies at the Microsoft booth.
