Sectra COM Based Desktop Integration Package
The COM Based Desktop Integration Package provides integration with a RIS client using the COM protocol. This is an extension of the free-of-charge DDE interface that is bundled with various Sectra PACS workstation. This package also enables the CCOW (Clinical Context Objects Workgroups) login functionality of the Sectra PACS workstation. This functionality can be used to provide single-login functionality towards any CCOW context manager.
Features and benefits
- COM is a Microsoft standardized way of interfacing
Windows ® applications, and as such a more intuitive choice than DDE
- COM will make the desktop integration process with other medical applications easier to develop since it provides a ready-to use interface towards the Sectra PACS workstation
- A multitude of login CCOW-compatible mechanisms exist today and thus make the selection of possible user authentication mechanisms for the Sectra PACS workstation extremely versatile
- User authentication is a vital component in HIPAA compliance, and this can be solved with a single CCOW context manager for all applications that are CCOW compliant
