Intended use
Nexus has been developed to make it possible for healthcare professionals to easily make teleconsultations, tele-expertise and teleassistance. However, a Nexus software training is recommended.
With Nexus, clinicians (emergency physicians, doctors, nurses, etc.) can send requests for second opinions or interpretations to specialists (radiologists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, cardiologists…) at remote sites. The clinical and imaging data exchange is securely sent between sites, for all connected institutions.
Nexus includes the following features:
-
storage of studies (radiology, images, documents and video)
-
visualization
-
cases (structured cooperation between remote healthcare professionals)
The applications range from MACS (management of imaging between institutions) to telemedicine (teleradiology, tele-expertise, etc.) via the secure exchange network.
Nexus users profiles
Since Nexus addresses various usage contexts, it can be used by the following user profiles:

-
PACS technicians or administrators – They may have to import studies from Nexus into PACS (storage and archive server).
