3.2.4.4

This is a major update and initial client release for 3.2.

New to Synapse Communications with version 3.2.4 is Pulse. Pulse provides the communication tools outside of the traditional Synapse PACS PowerJacket. With Pulse, users have contextual awareness to the active image viewer without losing visibility of enterprise workflows. It’s a one-stop, communication power house, designed to keep users focused on clinical processes, not clerical.

  • Indicators on the Pulse tabs make users aware when there are studies which need attention, for prompt turn-around and escalation.
  • Users may follow patients for quick recall to respond to ordering providers.
  • Chat offers users the option to share the current image link for ease of access.
  • Single-click access to launch many Synapse PACS functions, such as images, reports, documents, and notes.
