Endoscope Data Capture How endoscopy images get from the scope to the EHR
EndoManager® EMS captures endoscopy images and video in the procedure room and sends them to the health record. This page answers how that works with Epic® Lumens™, Oracle Health (Cerner), MEDITECH, Epic Gallery, and a PACS or VNA.
Frequently asked questions
What is Endoscope Data Capture?
Endoscope Data Capture is Epic's Toolbox category for software that gathers data from a scope, formats it, and sends it downstream. Epic says it is currently focused on image data, and that this data is used throughout Lumens workflows, such as documenting findings or writing a procedure note. NewCura's listing in that category is "EndoManager EMS by NewCura." Epic does not endorse, certify, or verify the integrity, safety, performance, or practices of NewCura or its software.

What is listed in Epic Toolbox for Endoscope Data Capture?
The listing "EndoManager EMS by NewCura" is listed with Toolbox status in the Endoscope Data Capture category (listing 3848). Epic describes Toolbox products as following Epic recommended connection practices for a category. Epic does not endorse, certify, or verify the integrity, safety, performance, or practices of NewCura or its software. View the listing on Epic Showroom (opens in a new tab).
Does EndoManager work with Epic Lumens?
Yes. EndoManager EMS takes orders, scheduling, and patient updates from Epic, puts the patient on the room's worklist, and sends captured images straight into the Lumens procedure note. A separate VNA is not required. See Epic integration details.
Do we need a VNA or PACS to use EndoManager with Lumens?
No. EndoManager stores images itself and sends them straight to Lumens. If you already use a PACS or VNA, EndoManager can route copies there too. It also works with Epic Gallery.
How can EndoManager send images to Epic Gallery?
EndoManager EMS can send images to Epic Gallery in two ways: over HL7 MDM, or by a file drop, sometimes called a sweep. Both are ways Epic supports sending images to Gallery, and both can be used alongside Epic Lumens. If a wrong-patient image is corrected in EMS after it was sent over HL7 MDM, that correction carries through to Gallery. That carry-through applies to the MDM path, not to file drop or sweep.
Does EndoManager work with Oracle Health (Cerner)?
Yes. EndoManager EMS exchanges HL7 messages with Oracle Health, formerly Cerner, and sends endoscopy images directly to Cerner by batch prep. Orders and patient details come in from Cerner so each image lands on the right patient. A separate VNA is not required; if you use a PACS or VNA, EMS can send copies there too. See Oracle Health (Cerner) integration details.
Does EndoManager work with MEDITECH?
Yes. EndoManager EMS connects to MEDITECH, including MEDITECH Expanse, by HL7. Orders and patient details come in from MEDITECH so staff pick the patient from the room's worklist. Images go to the MEDITECH record as a PDF, either base64-encoded over HL7 or as a cold-feed PDF drop. Images can also be archived to a PACS or VNA by DICOM. See MEDITECH integration details.
Which EHRs does EndoManager integrate with?
Epic, Oracle Health (Cerner), and MEDITECH. Other connections are scoped per project. Call 866.578.5713 or schedule a demo to talk through your record system.
How do endoscopy images get from the scope to the EHR?
The EHR sends the order to EndoManager, which puts the patient on the room's worklist. The room captures, either from a camera that supports DICOM worklist or with EndoManager 4 (Image Capture) at the tower. EndoManager then forwards the images to the record, mostly hands-free.
Do we need a capture PC in every procedure room?
No. Rooms with cameras that support DICOM worklist can send stills straight to EndoManager EMS. Rooms whose equipment does not support that path use EndoManager 4, a capture station connected to the tower, for stills and video.
Which scope brands work with EndoManager?
EndoManager is vendor-neutral. It works with Fujifilm, Olympus, Pentax, and other camera systems, including mixed fleets. If a device produces a visible-light image and has a video output, it can be captured with EndoManager 4.
Can EndoManager send images to a PACS or VNA?
Yes. A PACS or VNA is optional, because EndoManager can store images on its own. If you use one, EMS can route images there by DICOM, including to more than one archive.
Can we use a GI-specific report writer with Oracle Health (Cerner)?
Yes. Sites that want a GI-specific report writer can use EndoManager Report Writer (EndoManager 3). Sites that only need images use EndoManager EMS and, where needed, EndoManager 4.
Can we get interface documentation before we buy?
Yes. A NewCura integration engineer can share the interface specification, DICOM conformance statement, and HL7 samples during evaluation. Call 866.578.5713 or schedule a demo.
