The MDT Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program encourages and supports the participation of companies owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals in transportation contracts.

Image Movement of Montana (IMOM), a grassroots organization composed of 30 Montana healthcare facilities, announced today that three of its facilities have gone live with eMix after a successful beta test of the groundbreaking new technology. eMix (Electronic Medical Information Exchange) uses cloud computing to securely share radiology images and reports.

The IMOM facilities — including Great Falls Clinic (Great Falls, Mont.), Kalispell Regional Medical Center (Kalispell, Mont.) and St. Luke Community Healthcare (Ronan, Mont.) — will be the first medical institutions in the nation to securely share patient data via eMix.

The three institutions began testing eMix in late November as a pilot project for IMOM. Implementation of the technology was planned for early 2010 if the test went well. The test was so successful that the facilities went live with the beta eMix a few weeks after the test began.
