There is another issue. Because most IT com- puting platforms are designed for commercial use, they don’t address medical-environment concerns such as electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). Medical-grade computing platforms must ensure a device is compatible with the electro- magnetic environment (EME) and do not emit electromagnetic energy levels that cause inter- ference in nearby medical devices. Such inter- ference can create technical issues in vulnerable medical devices, posing real threats to patients and the potential for lawsuits. This interference potential makes combining EHR and PACS sys- tems in non-medically safe IT computing plat- forms unacceptable.

The ONYX Healthcare ZEUS-228 22" all-in-one multi-touch surgical workstation enables access to PACS images and EHRs.
The challenge they face is the lack of graphically advanced surgical workstations, patient terminals, and mobile nursing workstations that can access both PACS and EHRs at the point of care. Consider situations where several physicians consult on a case. They have access to systems that run either EHRs or PACS, but no system alone enables single-point simultaneous information sharing for fully informed joint counsel.
Medical equipment suppliers should see a real opportunity here. A market need exists for a cen- tralized medical-grade workstation that can pro-
cess PACS images at the point of treatment while providing access to EHR and other clinical data systems.
The All-in-One Multi-Touch Surgical Workstation To meet the need for such a medical-grade workstation, ONYX Healthcare designed the ZEUS-228 22" all-in-one multi-touch surgical workstation (Figure 3). As a company focused entirely on the design
