want each device to communicate to a single solution and have a
direct communication line to the archive. The whole process is much
easier to manage if you funnel all of your image-capture devices into a
single integration point.
I'd advise against sending images directly to the EHR. For one, it's
important from a caregiver perspective to have a longitudinal imaging
history so that you can see the patient's history in chronological order.
For another, it lets you have a single point of access into your EHR. If
you're integrating all vendor solutions directly to the EHR, oftentimes
you'll only see the history associated with that communication path or
interface.
