Core offering

Merge Healthcare develops and sells enterprise medical imaging software for hospitals, health systems, and radiology/cardiology practices. Its portfolio centers on the cloud-based Merge Imaging Suite (combining Merge VNA, Merge Universal Viewer, and Merge Workflow Orchestrator) along with specialty solutions Merge PACS for radiology, Merge Cardio and Merge Hemo for cardiology, and the Merge DICOM Toolkit for developer interoperability.

Product overview

Merge Healthcare, now part of Merative, offers a unified platform-plus-modules architecture centered on medical imaging solutions. The core offering is the Merge Imaging Suite, a cloud-based enterprise imaging platform combining Merge VNA (vendor neutral archive), Merge Universal Viewer (enterprise viewer), and Merge Workflow Orchestrator (workflow automation). The portfolio extends into specialty areas: Merge PACS provides radiology picture archiving and communication with multi-specialty reading capabilities, while Merge Cardio and Merge Hemo address cardiology and hemodynamic workflows. The Merge DICOM Toolkit supports developer interoperability. Ancillary offerings like Merge Financials address radiology-specific billing needs. The solutions are used across 6 of the top 10 U.S. health systems and hold KLAS Top 3 rankings, with deployment options including cloud-based and partner-enabled configurations.
