Signify Premium Insight: What Intelerad Hopes to Make with Life Image Acquisition

Intelerad has continued its streak of acquisitions by buying up medical image exchange vendor Life Image. Intelerad hopes that the acquisition will enable the vendor to capitalise on the interoperability focus of the 21^st Century Cures Act in the US and should help providers more easily share images across their networks, preventing information sharing bottlenecks and use of legacy processes such as burning CDs. Given Intelerad’s recent run of acquisitions and the integration that they require, is adding another company into the mix really the best use of the company’s resources?
