Company to Showcase Enhancements to MEDxConnect(TM) System at SCAR
AUSTIN, Texas, SCAR Booth #335, April 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Compressus,
Inc. today announced that it will showcase its comprehensive suite of
integrated digital medical imaging and data management solutions here at
the 2006 Annual Meeting of the Society for Computer Applications in
Radiology (SCAR), April 27-30. The MEDxConnect(TM) System enables seamless
integration of disparate data systems and provides users the freedom to
select best of breed PACS, HIS/RIS, EMS and CIS tools, regardless of
vendor.
Compressus' MEDxConnect System addresses the lack of communications
inherent to traditional PACS implementations based on proprietary
technologies and competitive pressures. This often forces medical
facilities to settle for a sub-par solution with a single vendor providing
all components or rely on stop gap measures to achieve common
communications across all operational areas -- many times in the form of
moving personnel to follow the images from one workstation to another. The
MEDxConnect System acts as a communications hub, enabling various PACS,
HIS, RIS and other data information systems to connect and communicate
across the enterprise.
The integrated Digital Medical Imaging and data management solution
from Compressus is designed to support a facility's current and expanded
workload and provide an infrastructure for sustained growth.
State-of-the-art technologies work together to build the functionality
required for remote connectivity and enables users to access diagnostic
images in the existing data stores at each facility, increasing the level
of medical care while reducing the associated costs. This solution
emphasizes the electronic collection and distribution of digital imaging
data including: digital storage and transmission of imaging data, softcopy
workstations for efficient interpretation by radiologists, automated voice
interpretation for generation of reports and electronic and secure
distribution via the web of images and reports to referring physicians. All
components of this solution meet HIPAA privacy requirements.
The cornerstone of the system is the ConnectServer(TM) with robust,
open-architected software that creates a virtual archive and database,
enabling high speed enterprise wide data transfer from any acquisition
device to any workstation. These DICOM diagnostic images can include
angiography, cardiac ultrasound, intravascular ultrasound, as well as
radiological images, and can all be viewed on the MEDxConnect
diagnosticStation(TM) Workstation or MEDxConnect webStation, remote review
solution.
Once a study is received at the ConnectServer, it is then available for
prompt review by the radiologist, or for forwarding on to another
specialist for a second opinion. Once stored, the images are accessible
from any site in the client network and ultimately the authoritative
version of the file is stored and protected on each facility's existing
data stores. MEDxConnect users can manage their activities via a patient
work list generated from multiple PACS or network systems, and route images
to participating physicians based upon any combination of modality, body
part, and/or referring physician. In addition, all physicians using
MEDxConnect will immediately have the capability to create complete reports
using the MEDxConnect voice recognition tools or existing voice
transcription services and protocols used in connection with each
facility's PACS/RIS system.
The company's image compression technology can support lossy and
lossless compression, yet facilitate electronic image transmission in a
fraction of the time compared to other technologies on the market. When
retrieving an image from the ConnectServer, the MEDxConnect Workstation has
the capability to dynamically adjust the compression ratio from lossless up
to 20:1 based on what the radiologist believes is appropriate. The modality
and desired compression ratio can be set automatically by user or adjusted
manually.
"Compressus breaks vendor dependence to deliver connectivity and
information solutions that can significantly increase practice performance
and eliminate vendor dependency," said Janine Broda, vice president and
general manager for Compressus Medical Solutions Division. "We are proud to
offer solutions that truly bring the promise and power of PACS to users
through tools that enable users to link disparate PACS and information
systems across multiple locations and offer real connectivity for the first
time."
