OneMedNet’s patented P2P technology, BEAM, was developed to enable rapid and secure transfer of medical images and files directly between providers. Under the hood, BEAM includes approval-based transfer protocols, one-time-use paired encryption keys, patient data reconciliation and electronic auditing. This patented technology streamlines and simplifies secure medical information sharing, thereby maximizing efficiency.

Overview

The BEAM network is made up of a growing group of hospitals, clinics, and imaging centers that are using OneMedNet’s BEAM technology to electronically transfer image studies over the Internet. Our technology allows facilities to rapidly, securely, and easily transfer full-fidelity (DICOM) medical image studies to each other within minutes over the Internet. BEAM replaces CDs as a medium of exchanging image studies. Prior to any transfer, both facilities approve the transfer and the receiving facility reconciles the Patient MRN and the study Accession Numbers. Once approved, studies are transferred securely over the Internet, in minutes, at full-fidelity directly from sending PACS to receiving PACS. Studies are not stored on servers in the Internet cloud.

BEAM has many use cases including transfers of trauma patients, requests for mammography exam priors, and cardiology consults, to name just a few. Using BEAM helps improve the quality of health care and reduce costs..

Note: Sites listed as live means they are currently sending and receiving studies. Sites listed as service activated means that although they can push and receive studies, they are still finalizing workflow on their end before declaring themselves as “live”. As more facilities come on-line, this list will be updated.

The BEAM network is a simple, secure way to provide medical image sharing over the Internet without a VPN connection. An increasingly popular alternative to CDs, the technology of BEAM 3.0 is a perfect solution for trauma and critical care centers, where quick, efficient and reliable study transfers are needed. The new version includes significantly enhanced P2P transfer performance and added features that allow customers to collect referral studies, reports and attachments from any provider on-demand. To assist with the transition to electronic study exchange, BEAM 3.0 also allows users to manage incoming DICOM CDs by uploading exams and reconciling outside patient and study information before importing to PACS through the same easy-to-use BEAM interface.
